Ahatract-A stochastic approach a fatigue damage of carbon fiber composites (CFRP) is proposed. It is based on the constitutive equation for fatigue damage in continuum damage mechanics. By introducing the stochastic process to this equation, a stochastic differential equation of It6 type is derived.

β¦ Synopsis
Aluminized glass fiber composite with epoxy and polyester matrix were used in this work in order to study fatigue properties and its comparison to conventional glass fiber composites. Until now aluminized glass fiber materials have been only used as decoy flares in military applications. The innovative advantages of these composites, using modified fibers, are potentially the improvement of thermal and electrical conduction. The main objective of this work was to study the fatigue damage of coated fiber materials using stiffness loss and potential drop techniques. The failure mechanisms were analyzed using microscopy. Fiber contents and the resin effects in the fatigue strength were also tested and discussed.

The paper deals with the non-linear analysis of industrial components subjected to strong thermo-mechanical cyclic loads. Two kinds of damages must be taken into account: the first one being a ''constitutive damage'' which will dominate the low cycle fatigue (LCF) regime and whose evolution law will
## Abstract The purpose of this work was to propose a new numerical model for glassβfiberβreinforced composites. The proposed numerical model was constructed with orthotropic shell, isotropic shell, and beam elements representing glass fiber cloth, silica filler, and the remaining matrix resin, res
