A three-dimensional multiscale modeling framework is developed to analyze the failure procedure of radially aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) enhanced single fiber composites (SFC) under tensile loading to understand the interfacial improvement between the fiber and the matrix. The model introduces four leve...
