A micromechanics model for the prediction of fatigue characteristics of off-axis unidirectional laminates

The concentric cylinders model is used to predict the fatigue characteristics of off-axis unidirectional laminates. A failure criterion that uses stresses averaged along the radial distance in each constituent phase is applied to predict the S-N curves of unidirectional laminates. The predicted S-N...

Zusammenfassung:The concentric cylinders model is used to predict the fatigue characteristics of off-axis unidirectional laminates. A failure criterion that uses stresses averaged along the radial distance in each constituent phase is applied to predict the S-N curves of unidirectional laminates. The predicted S-N curves compare well with the experimental data for various off-axis glass epoxy laminates.
