Abstract

The anisomorphic constant fatigue life (CFL) diagram approach that was developed in an earlier study is further tested for applicability to the matrix-dominated fatigue failure in symmetric angle-ply carbon/epoxy laminates. An extension of the CFL diagram approach is also attempted to improve the accuracy of fatigue life prediction. The original anisomorphic CFL diagram approach can be used for approximately predicting the CFL diagrams for the [±30]3S and [±45]3S laminates, while it fails to accurately predict the CFL diagram for the [±60]3S laminate due to its significant local distortion. For accommodating the anisomorphic CFL diagram approach to the local distortion in CFL curves due to a significant change in mean stress sensitivity in fatigue, a transitional segment is inserted between the tension–tension and compression–compression dominated segments. It is demonstrated that the three-segment anisomorphic CFL diagram approach allows improved predictions of the CFL diagrams and S–N relationships for the angle-ply laminates.
