Fibre buckling refers to the deformation that occurs when a slender fibre is subjected to compressive forces exceeding its critical load. Instead of shortening uniformly, the fibre bends or curves sideways, forming wave-like shapes. This phenomenon is common in materials like optical fibres, textile fibres, and carbon or glass fibres in composites. Buckling reduces the fibre’s load-bearing capacity and can lead to structural failure if unaddressed. Factors influencing buckling include fibre length, diameter, material stiffness, and boundary conditions, with longer, thinner, and less rigid fibres being more prone.
