Abstract
- Abstract: A multi-scale numerical fatigue modelling methodology is proposed for the characterization of axial tension–tension fatigue behaviour of unidirectional Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites. The methodology is developed to link the dominant fibre failure mechanism to composite fatigue properties, by a three-step geometrical up-scaling process. This study aims to provide composite fatigue predictions by only using the material properties of fibres and matrix. Compared to the experimental results, the fatigue model over-predicts fatigue lives and gives reasonable estimations of axial stiffness degradation curves of the unidirectional GFRP composite dog-bone specimens.
