  • Prediction of fatigue life of a conical shaped joint system for fiber reinforced plastics under aribtrary frequency, load ratio and temperature
    Miyano, Yasushi ; Nakada, Masayuki ; Muki, Rokuro
    A prediction method for the fatigue life of polymer composites under arbitrary frequency, load ratio and temperature was extended to that of polymer composite structures. The method is based upon ... four hypotheses: (a) the same mechanism applies to static, creep and fatigue failure, (b) the same time-temperature superposition principle holds for all failure loads, (c) the linear cumulative damage law applies to monotone loading, and (d) there exists a linear dependence of fatigue failure load upon load ratio. The tensile tests of a conically shaped joint system for fiber reinforced plastics (FRP joint) for static, creep and fatigue loadings were conducted at various temperatures. The validity of the proposed method and the applicability of the hypotheses for this FRP joint are discussed.
