The Effect of Aspect Ratio on the Fatigue Life of Short Boron Fiber Reinforced Composites,
Abstract
The flexural fatigue characteristics of boron fiber reinforced epoxy plastics were shown to be strongly dependent on the aspect ratio of the reinforcing fibers. These composites were evaluated in a stiffness limited, constant maximum stress mode. The failure mechanism was found to be a combination of interfacial failure and brittle rupture of the matrix at 45 degrees to the axis of the fibers. (Author)
