✦ Synopsis
This article presents the experimental results of stress controlled constant amplitude fatigue tests of a 50wt% sgfr partial aromatic polyamide regarding influencing parameters fibre orientation and temperature. The results are presented in the form of S/N curves, showing the variation of fatigue strength as a function of ambient temperature and fibre orientation. Based on these experimental results hypotheses for fatigue life prediction have been developed and implemented into a standard fatigue software tool. The new analysis method and simulation process which takes into account the fibre orientation and distribution as result from moulding simulation have been verified with component tests.
