As there is no universal standards for the determination of the axial tensile stress of fiber reinforced composites, they exist various suggestions by different studies.
What is the best specimen dimension and shape (i.e. dogbone or prism) to be used in assessing the tensile stress of FRCs
You can follow ASTM standard (D 3039/D 3039M)
Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials
In the attached table, the dimensions of specimens can be selected based on the orientation of fibre.
See the JSCE recommendation attached which is currently followed by most researchers for tensile testing of ECC specimen.
