Composite materials have emerged as an effective substitute for conventional materials in
various fields of engineering and structural science. For replacement of regular metals …

The matrix-dominated behaviour of unidirectional composite laminae subjected to multiaxial
fatigue loading was extensively investigated. Tubular specimens with three different lay-up …

In this work an experimental investigation on damage initiation and evolution in laminates
under cyclic loading is presented. The stacking sequence [0/θ 2/0/− θ 2] s has been adopted …

An innovative procedure is proposed for the prediction of the crack density evolution in
multidirectional laminates subjected to cyclic loadings. The crack initiation and propagation …

In this paper an experimental investigation on damage evolution in cross-ply glass fiber
reinforced plastic (GFRP) laminates under quasi-static and fatigue loading is presented …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are increasingly used for high performance
applications, especially for aircraft structures. These structural components are subjected …

To quantify carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) fatigue, herein, we investigate the
relationship between fatigue and an epoxy resin used in CFRPs. Generally, fatigue is …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the growth of matrix cracks in
carbon/epoxy cross-ply laminates under static and fatigue loading. Particular emphasis is …

In contrast to low cycle and high cycle fatigue, very high cycle fatigue of fibre-reinforced
composites has only been explored in part. Knowledge of degradation behavior, damage …

The cure degree must be as uniform as possible during the manufacture of polymer matrix
composite components in order to have a product without defects. For thick composite …
