Abstract

The key role of interfaces in the initiation and propagation of fatigue damage is elucidated for a model eight ply [0/90]2s Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn (Ti-15–3) composite reinforced with SiC (SCS-6) fibers. Interfacial strengths obtained from fiber push-out tests are used in the quantification of shielding due to crack bridging. Composite fatigue tests are predicted using an idealized fracture mechanics model. The possible effects of interfacial strength variation on the predicted fatigue lives are also elucidated.
