Investigations of the fatigue performance of composite materials have accompanied their
introduction in several engineering domains since the 1950s. An abundance of publications …

Composite structural parts have been successfully introduced in high performance
industries. Nowadays, also lower performance, high volume production industries are …

The performance degradation of composite materials under fatigue loading is so complex
that the present knowledge is far from complete. This study aims to present a pair of residual …

The fatigue behavior of (±45) 2S angle-ply glass/epoxy composite laminates was
investigated. Rectangular specimens were subjected to constant amplitude fatigue loading …

The stiffness degradation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has significant effects on its
fatigue life and reliability. In this study, the inherent correlation between stiffness degradation …

Involving several damages and failure mechanisms result in a rather complex fatigue
process of composite materials. Inhomogeneity, anisotropy and nonlinear nature of …

Designing load-bearing composite elements significantly relies on the material's response
under different loading conditions, particularly fatigue. To improve the fatigue life prediction …

In this paper, a novel creep-fatigue stiffness degradation model for composite materials is
introduced. The model proposed a nonlinear stress–strain constitutive equation in the form …

Abstract Angle-ply (±45) 2S glass/epoxy composite specimens have been subjected to pure
creep and tension-tension constant amplitude fatigue loading interrupted at σ max by creep …

The study of static and dynamic behavior of environmentally conditioned fibre reinforced
polymeric (FRP) composites is necessary and crucial to examine the durability, reliability …
