The work is devoted to development of structural numerical model of CFRP, analysis of the resin stress/strain state and investigation of influence of initial CFRP fracture on its properties. The development of micro cracks is investigated, and the dependency of strength parameters of CFRP on the micro cracks sizes is obtained.
