ResearchOn the residual strength of long-fibre reinforced thermoplastics after fatigue damage
It is undeniable that mechanical properties, such as stiffness or residual strength of composites, are adversely affected by fatigue damage. In order to quantify and predict this damage influence, Witzgall and Wartzack developed a calculation approach for the subgroup of short-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. To expand this approach to long-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, the decrease in mechanical properties is […]It is undeniable that mechanical properties, such as stiffness or residual strength of composites, are adversely affected by fatigue damage.
