Abstract

The fatigue behaviour of small scale composite unit cells consisting of seven fibres and surrounding matrix is developed for use in fatigue simulations. The predicted fatigue properties of these 7-fibre unit cells are compared with the fatigue properties of single glass fibres and of unidirectional composite dog-bone specimens. These predicted results provide stochastic fatigue characteristics that can be used as input for modelling the fatigue behaviour of larger composite structures.
