Flexural fatigue of marine laminates reinforced with woven roving of E‐glass and of Kevlar® 49 aramid

Abstract
Abstract A comparison of the flexural fatigue characteristics of E‐glass and Kevlar® 49 aramid in polyester and vinyl ester resin hand lay‐ups typical of boat hull laminates is presented. Data on unidirectional E‐glass and aramid composites from epoxy preimpregnated tapes are reported for comparison. The data indicate that while the initial flexural strength of E‐glass woven roving laminates is greater than that of aramid laminates, the runout stress of aramid laminates at 106 fatigue cycles is similar or superior to glass. S‐N curves for aramid laminates are flatter indicating better flexural fatigue resistance.
