A REVIEW OF FATIGUE AND LIFE PREDICTION OF UNIDIRECTIONAL FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITES
Keywords:
UNIDIRECTIONAL COMPOSITE MATERIALSAbstract
A detailed review on fatiguedamage of unidirectional fiber compositesand life prediction is coveredin this paper. In order to summarize and present current work, the detailed work is divided in four parts in order to complete the overall review;fatigue of unidirectional composites, damage mechanism, failure criteria and composite Fatigue life prediction. The review starts with study onfactors affecting the fatigue of composites. This is trailed by a fairly broad depiction of the composite and an outline of normally utilized fatigue criteria for expectation. Also, towards the end,models and techniques for wearinessand life forecast of composites are condensed and discussed.
