Abstract

Fatigue is the phenomenon of mechanical property degradation under cyclic loading. The cyclic loads may be mechanical, thermal, or a combination of the two. Many high-volume applications of composite materials involve cyclic-loading situations, e.g., automobile components and aircraft structures. Below we provide a brief description of the two main approaches that have been used to quantify fatigue behavior of materials. For a more complete description, the reader may consult the texts by Meyers and Chawla (2009) and Suresh (1998).
