Abstract: The objective of this investigation is to verify the applicability of a number of nonlinear damage accumulation theories in the context of composite FRP laminates subjected to simulated stochastic loadings. Although nonlinear ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a study on fatigue damage accumulation in fiber-reinforced plastic coupons and joints. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Palmgren-Miner linear damage ...

Abstract: The influence of small stress ranges on a recently proposed sequencedependent fatigue damage model is examined. The damage model is capable of including sequence effects by taking into account the interaction of neighboring ...

Abstract: A new methodology is developed that can identify the optimal testing procedure to be used in generating

Abstract: An optimal protocol for stress range/number of cycles
