Computational tools for the fatigue life modeling and prediction of composite materials and structures - ScienceDirect
Structural testing is probably the best and only way to reveal the actual performance of composite laminates, structural components, and complete composite structures under fatigue loading. Nevertheless, the high cost, and the multitude of loading cases a composite structure can face during operation, hinder the possibility of developing methods based solely on experimental results and therefore, theoretical modeling procedures become essential....
