Fatigue response of fabric reinforced polymeric composites

Abstract: FATIGUE RESPONSE OF FABRIC REINFORCED POLYMERIC COMPOSITES Venkatakrishnan Natarajan Fiber Reinforced Polymeric (FRP) Bridge decks have been an active area of research for the past 10 yrs. In order to better understand the long term efficiency and reliability of FRP bridge decks, and to develop design and test specifications, laboratory testing and characterization of the deck systems and the FRP material, is necessary. Majority of the FRP deck systems available to date are made of glass-reinforcing fibers in … Show more

“…The fatigue strength of laminated composites is discussed widely, but the variety of the interlayers (types and thickness) considered in the present work along with the presented experimental setup was not cited in literature. The previous studies have presented fatigue life model based on energy method, numerical model on fatigue life prediction of laminated composites, hybrid S‐N formulation for fatigue life modeling of composite materials and structures, and fatigue response of fabric‐reinforced polymeric composites, but fatigue life of LG with variety of interlayers subjected to cyclic bending load is not comparable with results of cited literature yet important for the LG applications. The use of LG in structures which are prone to fatigue failure due to combination of various loading conditions (including wind loads on high‐rise buildings, pressure provoked by the passing by vehicles, deformation provoked by mowing people and during earthquakes) is increasing day‐by‐day.…”

“…The strain energy-based fatigue model proposed by Natarajan et al (2005) uses the expenditure of strain energy as the damage metric because of its ability to represent various damage modes. Using a few simplifications, the model can easily be applied to wide variety of fatigue data.…”

“…The GFRP fatigue life model proposed by Natarajan et al (2005) uses the internal strain energy of the material as the damage metric; this energy is expended due to damage in the forms of matrix cracking, fiber/matrix interface failure, delaminations, or fiber breakage before rupture (Natarajan 2003;Natarajan et al 2005;GangaRao 2009;Dittenber and GangaRao 2010). Strain energy was chosen as the damage metric because of its ability to represent a variety of damage modes through one measurement and its high sensitivity to damage accumulation due to the squaring of the stress/strain term.…”
