Abstract

The effect of a short duration cyclic overload on the residual life and strength of laminated glass-fiber reinforced polyester is studied. A uniaxial tensile fatigue loading with the stress ratio 0.1 is considered. The residual life of the composite decreases due to the overload, while the residual strength is almost unaffected. A reasonable agreement of experimental data with the prediction by a residual strength model and by Miner's rule is observed.
