Tension-tension axial fatigue of E-glass fiber-reinforced polymeric composites: fatigue life diagram

摘要

Fiber-reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites have been under analytical and experimental investigations for approx. 40 years in the context of aerospace, marine and mechanical applications. Now the use of FRP composites in civil engineering applications is steadily increasing. For civil engineering structures subject to cyclic loading, one important limit state in design is fatigue. Thus, a review of the existing data is necessary to determine the applicability to civil engineering structure. This review will focus on E-glass FRP composites under tension-tension axial fatigue with test frequency of 5 Hz or less, without environmental concerns.
