Abstract
The problem of cumulative fatigue damage in composites is analyzed based upon the development of a phenomenological damage model. In this modeling, a damage function is defined based on the degradation of the residual stiffness and used to predict the remaining life of composite specimens subjected to dual stress level fatigue loading. Available experimental data for graphite/epoxy composites are compared with the predictions of the present model.
