Abstract
In recent years, Polymer-Matrix Composites (PMCs) have gained increasing attention across various sectors. With this growing interest and usage, accurately determining their mechanical properties, including the fatigue properties, has become crucial. Traditional methods for these evaluations are both time-consuming and costly, prompting the development of easier and more cost-effective methods for rapidly estimating the fatigue limits of materials. Among these methods, the self-heating test has emerged as notable. The first innovation of this study lies in determining the fatigue limit through the capacitance measurements of in-situ piezoceramic transducers during the four-point self-heating bending test. This determination was validated using the classical temperature measurement methods. Additionally, a novel method called the “knee method” was developped and employed, representing the second originality of this study, and it has shown very promising results.
期刊介绍:
Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:
Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)
Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading
Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions
Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)
Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects
Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue
Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)
Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering
Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation
Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
