Abstract

Fatigue failure phenomena of fiber rein-forced plastics arequite complex because of number of failure mechanismsof fiber reinforced plasticscomplex and large in number, hence fatiguelifepredictionis not simple process. Several equations have proposed so far to predict lifeof FRPunder fatigue loading, but to support these equations experimental evidence is limited so far. This paper presentsthrough review ofprevious and present work on the fatigue lifepredictionof notched and unnotched FRPlaminates. The current work is broadly summarized into two parts, first is prediction of fatigue lifeof unnotched FRP laminates and second is prediction of fatiguelifeof notched FRP laminates.
