Fatigue life prediction of carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy laminates using a single S-N curve

Fatigue life prediction models, used in the design and analysis of cyclic loaded structures, often require experimental data in order to interpolate or extrapolate fatigue behaviour to different loading conditions. Due to scatter in fatigue life data, as well as model input requirements of several S-N curves, large numbers of experimental tests...

Compression-Compression and Tension-Compression Fatigue of Textile Carbon-Epoxy Composites: Experimental Testing and Instrumentation

Efficient design of woven composite structures is limited by a knowledge gap in predictive modeling of their behaviour. Fatigue modeling in particular is difficult and limited by a lack of experimental data. For compression-compression (C-C) or tension-compression (T-C) fatigue, experimental results in literature are uncommon. In this master...
