The self-heating effect can be considered as a catastrophic phenomenon that occurs in
polymers and polymer–matrix composites (PMCs) subjected to fatigue loading or vibrations …

Variable amplitude fatigue testing is a time consuming process and a necessary part of
certification for aircraft structures. While the frequency of loading can be increased for testing …

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) testing at conventional frequencies is highly time-consuming
and unrealistic for large sample sizes. Though testing at ultrasonic frequencies can …

One of the most challenging and still unsolved problems within the design and operation of
composite structures is the prediction of its behavior under fatigue loading. This problem is …

The present paper describes the influence of both flexure quasi-static and fatigue loading on
polyamide 12 (PA12) specimens fabricated by fused filament fabrication (FFF) and selective …

Accelerated fatigue testing is one potential solution to evaluate the very high cycle fatigue
behavior of composite materials within a reasonable amount of time. The ultrasonic fatigue …

The tension-tension fatigue behavior of ductile adhesively-bonded double-lap FRP joints
was experimentally investigated. An acrylic adhesive, which was in the rubbery state at …

The knowledge and experience with the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior are limited
compared to the low cycle and high cycle fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced composite …

Very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) experiments are limited in practice due to their long testing
times. In ultrasonic fatigue test (UFT) systems, the cyclic oscillation is applied using …

As a viscohyperelastic material, filled rubber is widely used as a damping element in
mechanical engineering and vehicle engineering. Academic and industrial researchers …
