In this article, we review the experimental research and modeling of fiber reinforced polymer
composite materials subjected to variable amplitude fatigue. In general, these models are …

This article is intended to be a tutorial on the subject of fatigue of foam and honeycomb core
composite sandwich structures. First, several different analytical models for predicting the …

The mechanical properties of composite materials degrade progressively with the increasing
of the number of cyclic loadings. Based on the stiffness degradation rule of composites, a …

State-of-the-art phenomenological residual strength models are discussed in this paper. The
presentation focus is on probabilistic and deterministic theories that predict strength …

Degradation of mechanical properties of laminates during uniaxial tension-tension fatigue is
analytically and experimentally investigated. A unit-cell based stress analysis is developed …

Proper fatigue life prediction is very essential for the safety of structural design, operation,
and maintenance. This paper presents a modified composite fatigue damage model …

At present, in production of commercially available biopolyamides, castor oil is used as one
of raw materials. In this paper possibilities of processing biocomposites based on …

Two types of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites were fabricated viz., GFRP
with neat epoxy matrix (GFRP-neat) and GFRP with hybrid modified epoxy matrix (GFRP …

Carbon-fiber-reinforced epoxy-matrix composite (CFRP) laminates with thin plies have
strong damage-resistance properties compared with standard prepregs. The static and …

The static and fatigue tensile properties of high-strength polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based
carbon (IMS60) and electronic (E)-class glass (E-glass) hybrid fiber-reinforced epoxy matrix …
