This article presents a review of the major fatigue models and life time prediction
methodologies for fibre-reinforced polymer composites, subjected to fatigue loadings. In this …

Failure process of composite laminate under quasi-static or fatigue loading involves
sequential accumulation of intra-and interlaminar damage. Matrix cracking parallel to the …

A detailed investigation of the failure mechanisms for angle-interlocked (AI) and modified
layer-to-layer (MLL) three dimensional (3D) woven composites under tension–tension (T–T) …

This paper discusses the topic of how the integrity of safety-critical structural composites can
be enhanced by the use of structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques. The paper starts …

In the present work the problem of the stiffness degradation of multidirectional symmetric
laminates in the presence of off-axis cracks is studied. A new analytical model is presented …

This paper describes the degradation of the tension-tension fatigue behavior of basalt fiber-
reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites after exposure to a salt solution. Two levels of stress …

After careful tailoring, composite structures can provide a reasonable well response to
impact loads with the additional advantages of weight savings and structural stiffness. In …

The presence of subcritical damage in notched composites significantly affects the ultimate
failure mode and strength. This article presents a detailed study of four different layups of E …

This article presents results from a new approach to the finite element modeling of notched
damage in composite materials using interface elements to model intra-and interply …

This paper treats the problem of elastic response of composite laminates containing matrix
cracks in plies of multiple orientations. The approach taken has been described as …
