The self-heating effect is a dangerous phenomenon that occurs in polymers and polymer
matrix composites during their cyclic loading, and may significantly influence structural …

Standards for the fatigue testing of wearable sensing technologies are lacking. The majority
of published fatigue tests for wearable sensors are performed on proof-of-concept stretch …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of UV irradiation on the fatigue life of
a bulk semi-crystalline polymer. Low-density polyethylene samples exposed to different UV …

Several nonparametric models for HCF fatigue life predictions under variable amplitude
loading (VAL) have been proposed and gained broad attention from practicing engineers …

In this study, the energy dissipation behavior of short carbon fiber reinforced polyether-ether-
ketone (SCFR-PEEK) subjected to fatigue loading is investigated. A new model is …

This paper predicts the cyclic creep behaviors of deep-sea manned submersible PMMA
viewport windows that experience the cyclic dive, operation and rise stages. The three …

The existing crack layer model theoretically mimics the discontinuous slow crack growth
behavior of high-density polyethylene; however, it can only be applied to cyclic loads of …

Damage to composite structures can accumulate over time and lead to fatigue failure in their
actual use environment. Therefore, it is critical to establish a suitable fatigue life prediction …

High-frequency testing (HFT) is useful for accelerated fatigue testing of conventional
materials that typically serve under low-frequency loading conditions, as well as for the …

The low-cycle fatigue experiments of the adhesively bonded hollow cylinder butt-joints were
conducted in previous work. The effects of loading path, stress amplitude, mean stress and …
