“…In general, short-®bre/polymermatrix composites are much less resistant to fatigue damage than the corresponding continuous-®bre-reinforced materials, mainly because the weak matrix has to sustain a greater proportion of the cyclic load [4]. Fatigue damage is generally associated with the initiation and propagation of cracks in the matrix and/or the destruction of bonding at the polymer/matrix interface.…”

“…The high strength bond between carbon atoms in the layer planes results in an extremely high modulus. By contrast, the weak van der Waals-type bond between the neighboring layers results in lower modulus [2]. Therefore, the carbon/graphite fibers are highly anisotropic with the longitudinal stiffness an order of magnitude higher than the transverse stiffness [3].…”

A higher-order micromechanical framework is presented to predict the overall elastic deformation behavior of continuous fiber-reinforced composites with high-volume fractions and random-fiber distributions. By taking advantage of the probabilistic pair-wise near-field interaction solution, the interacting eigenstrain is analytically derived. Subsequently, by making use of the Eshelby equivalence principle, the perturbed strain within a continuous circular fiber is accounted for. Further, based on the general micromechanical field equations, effective elastic moduli of continuous fiber-reinforced composites are constructed. An advantage of the present framework is that the higher-order effective elastic moduli of composites can be analytically predicted with relative simplicity, requiring only material properties of the matrix and fibers, the fiber-volume fraction and the microstructural parameter γ . Moreover, no Monte Carlo simulation is needed for the proposed methodology. A series of comparisons between the analytical predictions and the available experimental data for isotropic and anisotropic fiber reinforced composites illustrate the predictive capability of the proposed framework.

“…Similarly to composite laminates [39,40] and simply adhesively bonded joints between metal elements [31][32][33], the fatigue curves reported in Fig. 12 shows that the fatigue behavior of the analyzed joints can be described by the following analytical function:…”
