A finite strain continuum theory is presented for unidirectional fibre reinforced composites under in-plane loading. The constitutive response is expressed in terms of couple stress theory, and is deduced from a unit cell of a linear elastic Timoshenko beam embedded in a nonlinear elastic-plastic matrix. The continuum theory is implemented within a finite element framework and is used to analyse compressive failure of polymer matrix composites by fibre microbuckling.
