An Investigation of Fatigue Behavior of Reinforced Plastics for Primary Aircraft Structures.
Abstract
The following aspects of fatigue behavior of reinforced plastic composite materials were studied (1) Fiber surface finish effects on fatigue life of glass reinforced plastics. (2) Low cycle fatigue effects on mechanical properties of Graphite reinforced plastics (GRP). (3) Hollow glass prepreg composite performance in compression fatigue. (4) Graphite/Epoxy and Graphite/Scrim cloth/epoxy composite behavior in compression fatigue. (5) Quasi-isotropic GRP behavior in tension fatigue. (6) Effect of hostile Humidity-temperature environment on GRP. (7) Tension crack toughness tests and crack propagation in GRP. (Author)
