Modeling the residual strength and fatigue life of carbon fiber composites under constant amplitude loading

Fatigue life and residual strength prediction of various engineering components and structures are of primary importance because of economy and safety point of view. This article presents the fatigue life and residual strength of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites at constant amplitude condition. Experiments were conducted on CFRP composites at different strain rates to determine its ultimate tensile strength. The lowest tensile...
