Carbon fiber composite rods can be widely employed in engineering due to their high ratio of the strength and density. Carbon fiber composite rods can be only used in the suitable conditions. In particular, under the bending deformation, the failure of carbon fiber composite rods can lead to the engineering accident if the applying bending moment is beyond a certain value. In this paper, a finite element model (FEM) for carbon fiber composite rod was put forward to simulate the mechanical responses of carbon fiber composite rod subjected to bending moment loading. A series of simulations under different levels of bending moments were conducted. Based on the calculated results, the limit bending moment was obtained by comparing the mechanical responses and the failure strength.
