Fatigue characterization study of CFRP under hygrothermal environment based on continuum damage mechanics model

Carbon fibre‐reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are now widely used for high‐performance fields such as aircraft structures. On average, these structural components are subjected with more than 10 8 cycles during their lifetime. To make full use of the mechanical performance of CFRP, the fatigue behaviour needs to be well studied. Nevertheless, at present, fatigue behaviour and failure mechanisms of CFRP under hygrothermal environment are not...
