Unidirectional fibre composites show a complex mechanical behaviour due to their material composition at the microscale. To address this challenge, this work introduces modelling approaches at this scale, both for static and cyclic loads. Static behaviour is evaluated using finite element simulations of representative volume elements, whereas cyclic behaviour is evaluated by introducing a novel method called Procedural Domain Extension. The models align well with experimental data and shall serve as a basis for future material exploration.
