Predicting the fatigue life of polymer and composite materials

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusions

A method of predicting the fatigue life from the values of two parameters was proposed. The method increases the accuracy of prediction of life. It has been shown that, regardless of the deformation conditions, the type of tested material, and the recorded parameter, the Pi-log Nf dependence is expressed by a single equation with various coefficients.
