Abstract:In order to overcome the shortcoming of traditional strength modeling of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite laminates that require a large amount of strength test data, a strength degradation model on the account of residual stiffness degradation data is proposed. First, fatigue damage growth can be described by the gradual reduction of the stiffness and strength, and damage expressed by the two degradation methods are equivalent. Second, according this assumption, the connection between the two d… Show more
