A Multiaxial Fatigue Damage Model for Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites
(Elsevier (Scienc Direct), 2013)
A multiaxial fatigue damage model for fibre reinforced polymercomposite materials is presented. The model combines (i) fatigue-induced fibre strength and modulus degradation, (ii) irrecoverable cyclic strain effects and ...
A preliminary design methodology for fatigue life prediction of polymer composites for tidal turbine blades
(SAGE, 2012-06-06)
Tidal turbine blades experience significant fatigue cycles during operation and it is expected that fatigue strength will be a major consideration in their design. Glass fibre reinforced polymers are a candidate low-cost ...
