Aspect of Fatigue Analysis of Composite Materials: A Review<br />

Fig.3: Sketched fatigue damage accumulation (Mao & Mahadevan, 2002)<br />

D = − (3)<br />

E<br />

where D 1 is accumulated fatigue damage, E is the Young’s modulus of the damaged material<br />

and E 0 is Young’s modulus of undamaged material. The cycle ratio is the number of cycles at<br />

a given instant divided by the fatigue life.<br />

Mao and Mahadevan (2002) presented a new damage accumulation model to describe the<br />

degradations of composite materials. This model accurately explains the rapid damage growth<br />

during both the early and final stages of life. The proposed function is of the following form:<br />

where D is the normalized accumulated damage; q, m 1 and m 2 are material dependent parameters;<br />

n is the number of applied loading cycles, and N is the fatigue life at the corresponding applied<br />

load level. The parameters for Eq. (4) are defined as:<br />
