Interfacial damage in fibre-reinforced composites subjected to tension fatigue loading 

 -  Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 25(5), p.445, 2002 .
<br/><br/> The interfacial behaviour of fibre-reinforced composites subjected to tension fatigue loading is studied based on the shear-lag model. The governing equations of this problem are obtained and solved. In order to describe the interfacial debonding, the Paris fatigue crack growth formula as well as a modified degradation model for the coefficient of friction is adopted. Finally some important values related to interfacial debonding are obtained. In the present investigation, Poisson's contraction is considered.
