Engineering structures are often subjected to the conditions of cyclic-loading, which onsets
material fatigue, detrimentally affecting the service-life and damage tolerance of components …

This review explores uniaxial ultrasonic fatigue (USF) testing as a common and dependable
method for quantifying the extended fatigue life of fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) …

For carbon fiber reinforced polymer parts featuring manufacturing defects the balance
between safety and cost has to be maintained. In this work, a non-crimp fabric with induced …

Composites based on carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) show great potential for
lightweight constructions in many industrial fields. In order to achieve high production rates …

Hydrofoils, appendices made from CFRP composite materials, are dimensioned in terms of
compressive and out-of-plane tensile strengths. The latter is also called inter-laminar tensile …

Over the last few decades research advances provided a couple of different modeling
techniques for progressive damage simulation in composite materials. Among them, the …
