Fatigue of fiber-reinforced composites

Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites presents a wealth of information accumulated over more than ten years of research. Highly scientific subjects are addressed with simplicity, and explained thoroughly. The fatigue behavior of several types of composite materials is described by presentation of numerous experimental results. Based on this experimental data, theoretical models are demonstrated and their ability to predict fatigue life is thoroughly discussed. Using all of the aforementioned information, a complete design methodology is introduced. Finally, novel methods for modeling or predicting the fatigue life of composites are described. Fatigue of Fiber-reinforced Composites is a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in mechanical engineering,civil engineering, and materials science. Describes the fatigue behavior of several types of composite materials - Presents basic fatigue issues, as well as innovative theories in a very comprehensive way - Gives novel methods for modelling/predicting fatigue life
