Abstract

This chapter explores the intricate world of composite materials under high-cycle fatigue, a critical area of study for ensuring the reliability and longevity of structures in load-varying environments. It begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding fatigue mechanisms in laminated composites, which are increasingly used in industries where weight and strength are paramount. The text delves into the behavior of composites under different loading conditions, such as tension-tension and compression-compression cyclic loading, and how factors like fiber orientation, fiber volume, and environmental conditions affect fatigue life. One of the standout features of this chapter is its extensive presentation of S-N data, which provides valuable insights into the fatigue performance of various composite materials. The chapter also discusses the impact of stress ratios, frequencies, and mean stress on fatigue life, offering a comprehensive overview of the factors that influence the durability of composite structures. Additionally, it presents several analytical models that can be used to predict fatigue life, making it a practical resource for engineers and researchers. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the future of composite materials in high-cycle fatigue applications, highlighting the need for continued innovation and research to address the unique challenges posed by these materials.
