Abstract
The fatigue behaviour of high performance continuous fibre reinforced composite materials based on organic matrices has been reviewed. Methods of performing fatigue tests are discussed. Fatigue damage development processes are reviewed for typical unidirectional and laminated materials and fatigue performance compared for different materials. The effects of stress concentrators and environmental exposure are considered and the use of alternative forms of composite such as woven materials discussed. A comparison with the fatigue of metals is made.
