A comprehensive review is conducted on the very high cycle (VHC) and gigacycle (GC)
fatigue of fiber-reinforced composite materials. The main objective was to conduct a …

In contrast to fatigue in the low and high cycle fatigue range, the so-called very high cycle
fatigue range (> 10 7 cycles) has only been investigated to a minor degree. As very high …

This study aimed to extract the thermomechanical fatigue behavior of a CF/PEKK composite
under low and ultrasonic frequency fatigue tests (LFFTs and UFFTs) in the presence of the …

Fatigue life models are widely used to predict the fatigue behavior at arbitrary cycle counts of
composite structures subjected to cyclic or highly dynamic loads. However, their predictive …

A glass fiber-reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composite, constituted by glass fibers in off-axis
directions, ie,[±45°] 2S was considered in this investigation for evaluating its static and …

The effect of hot-wet storage aging on the mechanical response of a carbon fiber polyether
ether ketone (PEEK)-matrix woven composite has been studied. A wide range of static loads …

Compared to low cycle and high cycle fatigue of fiber-reinforced composites, the very high
cycle fatigue behavior has only been explored in part. Underlying reasons are time …

Composite materials in structural applications that are subjected to static loads for several
decades tend to change material performance over their lifetime. Classical creep tests with …

To try and increase the applicability of carbon fibre composites, the present work considers
the use of thermal coatings on its surface. After a study on relevant literature pertaining to …
