The fatigue loading is the proximate factor leading to the performances degradation of the
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites and structures, which detrimentally …

Hybrid composites become popular and are today used in a large number of contemporary
structural applications. When compared to non-hybrid composites, hybridization offers …

Timely and effective health evaluation of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) structures
under dynamic fatigue loading is one of the key issues of CFRP in practical engineering …

Adhesive bonding is widely seen as the most optimal method for joining composite
materials, bringing significant benefits over mechanical joining, such as lower weight and …

Engineering structures are often subjected to fluctuating loads, which onset materials'
fatigue and deleteriously affect their service life. This becomes crucial for fiber reinforced …

To capture the mechanical behavior and low cycle fatigue damage of metals, a crystal
plasticity model combined with isotropic continuum damage mechanics model of low cycle …

Fatigue of structural adhesives has been investigated through joints and a little number of
works investigate bulk adhesive behaviour itself. Aerospace and automotive engineering …

The durability of structural components under fatigue loading is a huge concern, especially
in laminated composites. During the last few years, flax fibers have also gained an …

The high cycle fatigue behaviour of autoclave-cured carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP)
composite gears is investigated. The CFRP gears were milled from a composite plate and …
