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 …

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

In this research a modeling technique for simulating the fatigue behaviour of laminated
composite materials, with or without stress concentrations, called progressive fatigue …

During the last decades, fibre-reinforced composites have been established as competitive
materials for naval, automotive and aerospace industry. However, the fatigue behaviour of …

To validate the fatigue progressive damage model, developed in the first part of this paper,
an experimental program was conducted using graphite/epoxy AS4/3501-6 material. As the …

The present study focuses on the characterisation and evaluation of the fatigue behaviour of
flax–epoxy composites. A better understanding of this behaviour allows the prediction of …

A thorough analysis of fatigue of composite laminates under multiaxial loading is presented.
A large body of experimental data taken from the literature is examined to delineate the …

State-of-the-art phenomenological residual strength models are discussed in this paper. The
presentation focus is on probabilistic and deterministic theories that predict strength …

The fatigue behaviour of a unidirectional composite lamina is examined from theoretical and
experimental viewpoints. The goal is to establish a technique to use experimental data from …

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 …
