In this work, the impact of high stress gradients, found in bending of thin unidirectional fiber reinforced shells (~0.1 to 1 mm), on compressive micro-buckling failure, was analyzed. Such thin shells show increased resistance to compressive failure under high curvatures, which may even allow tensile fiber damage to drive ultimate failure for very low thickness (e.g., Composites Science and Technology, 216, ISSN:0266-3538, ISSN:1879-1050
