ABSTRACT |
The aim of the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards(VAMAS) program is to evaluate the mechanical properties of advanced materials.In this study,as a part of the polymer comosites,the first phase of this round robin test was carried out to examine the tension-tension fatigue properties of unidirectional GFRP and CFRP.Fatigue tests were undertaken in a sinusoidal load-controlled testing mode,with a load ratio of 0.1.In the case of CFRP tests,the comparison of cold-setting en of the specimen and the testing frequency of fatigue behavior of unidirectional CFRP specimen were examined.As for the tab configuration,10° tapered and untapered end-tab specimens were provided.On the testing frequency,fatigue tests were conducted with 2,5 and 10Hz.The difference of fatigue strength under these testing conditions was found to be small in the present study. |
