- The research in this paper contributes to the establishment of a novel method for a pressing industrial demand, accelerated fatigue testing of fibre reinforced polymeric composites. It proposes a theoretical framework to incorporate the effects of damage in transverse matrix cracking and the generic viscosity of polymeric composites in conjunction with the time-temperature superposition principle. The leading author, Dr Fei Xu, is working with AVIC ASRI (Aircraft Strength Research Institute), Xi’an, China to develop this further for industrial applications.
