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 …

This paper provides a literature review of the most notable models relevant to the evaluation
of the fatigue response of composite wind turbine blades. As wind turbines spread …

During the last decades, fibre-reinforced composites have been established as competitive
materials for naval, automotive and aerospace industry. However, the fatigue behaviour of …

In general, fatigue of fibre-reinforced composite materials is a quite complex phenomenon,
and a large research effort is being spent on it today. Due to deficiencies in the current life …

Today, a lot of research is dedicated to the fatigue behaviour of fibre-reinforced composite
materials due to their increasing use in all sorts of applications. These materials have a quite …

The aim of this paper is to present the fatigue damage modeling approach developed at
ONERA for the fatigue life prediction of composite materials and structures. This paper is …

Due to their anisotropic and inhomogeneous nature, the fatigue behaviour of fibre-reinforced
composite materials is complicated and since many years a large research effort is being …

Investigating the fatigue behaviour of a material often requires a lot of experiments in order
to have statistically valid results. However, the number of successful fatigue experiments …

This study proposes a simulation method to evaluate fatigue progressive damage in
composite laminates using intra-laminar and inter-laminar damage models. The intra …

In this paper, a new model based on thermodynamic entropy approach is proposed to
predict the fatigue life of cross-ply laminates. The basis of the model is that, during fatigue …
