Fatigue of Composite Materials

By Ramesh R. Talreja

Fatigue in Composites provides extensive contemporary research on fatigue from internationally recognized researchers. Part I introduces the concept, delivering a historical review of the fatigue behavior of fibre-reinforced plastics and illustrating fatigue test methods and fatigue under multiaxial stress systems. Part II reviews current research on micromechanical aspects, emphasizing long-term behavior, interface performance, delamination and damage accumulation. Part III covers the analysis and testing of fatigue behavior. Part IV details physical , micromechanical, computational, statistical, and life-prediction models for constant and variable stress. The final sections offer an overview of the wide range of composite fatigue-related problems experienced by engineers.
