Description
Excerpt from A Fatigue Model for Fiber-Reinforced Polymeric Composites for Offshore Applications
Over the last three decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (f rp) composites have been used extensively in a wide range of aerospace and military applications. There is a growing interest in extending the use of these materials into civil engineering structures such as offshore platforms An urgent need exists to develop quantitative analysis and methodology for assessing the safety and reliability of using polymer composites in these applications. One particularly critical issue in regard to using polymer composites in structural applications is their fatigue reliability in different environments and loading conditions. Fatigue damage in polymer composites for non civil engineering applications has been extensively investigated [3 Studies of the effects of water or salt water on the fatigue behavior of polymer composites have also been widely reported [8 However, there is little quantitative research on the effects of civil engineering environments, namely water, sea water, concrete pore solution, temperature, ultraviolet radiation.
