The Effect of Frequency on the Fatigue Damage of Boron/Aluminum Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials.
Abstract
The results of strain-controlled axial fatigue tests on boron/aluminum fiber reinforced composite materials are presented in the second of a series of reports detailing such results for a large number of fatigue tests run on boron/epoxy and boron/aluminum. Data from a series of undamaged (virgin) cyclic stress-strain tests at various frequencies and a series of constant strain amplitude fatigue tests at various frequencies is presented and discussed at length. Complete specimen and testing specifications are included. A difinitive relationship between damage and cyclic frequency is established for this material system, as was the case for the boron/epoxy system with substantially different material properties reported in the first report of this series.
