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 …

With the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the on-board hydrogen storage
technology with safety, efficiency and economy has become a fundamental part. Low cost …

This updated and enlarged third edition of a widely used text offers an integrated and
completely up-to-date coverage of composite materials. Focusing on the relationship …

A constitutive model for anisotropic damage is developed to describe the elastic-brittle
behavior of fiber-reinforced composites. The main objective of the paper focuses on the …

In this paper, fibrous composite laminate damage is modelled at the elementary-ply scale.
Damage mechanics is used to describe the matrix microcracking and fibre/matrix …

Over the last three decades, the evolution of techniques for the experimental testing of
composite materials has struggled to keep up with the advances and broadening areas of …

This paper presents an anisotropic damage model suitable for predicting failure and post-
failure behavior in fiber-reinforced materials. In the model the plane stress formulation is …

Abstract Cross-ply ([0° m, 90° n] s) laminates which contain distributions of intralaminar
cracks within the 90° ply are analyzed by variational methods for tensile and for shear …

Investigations of the fatigue performance of composite materials have accompanied their
introduction in several engineering domains since the 1950s. An abundance of publications …

The first form of damage in laminates is usually matrix microcracks [1], which are
intralaminar or ply cracks that traverse the thickness of the ply and run parallel to the fibers in …
