Fatigue in non-crimp fabric composites
K. Vallons, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Abstract:
Knowledge of the fatigue behaviour of a material is essential for safe use in structural applications. This chapter discusses recent findings concerning the tensile fatigue properties of non-crimp fabric (NCF) composites (fatigue life, stiffness evolution and damage development). It is also briefly describes how fatigue influences the residual static performance of these materials.
Key words:

13.1 Introduction
In most applications, materials are not simply subjected to static loading conditions; other loading modes are often equally, or sometimes ...
