A Study on Propagation Property of Fatigue Crack at Composite with Another Material

Abstract

In this study, the fatigue crack propagation in composite material is investigated by experimental result. When another material exists at fatigue crack propagation in case of composite, the durability against fatigue crack is smaller or greater than in case of matrix without another material. As another material is composite material, it refers to steel or material. Another material influences the crack propagation. As the experimental results can be agreed with simulation data, all experimental data in this study are verified. These experimental and analysis results can be applied into real field effectively. The estimation of safety design and life will be of great value industrially.
