Abstract
Effect of temperature on notched off-axis fatigue behavior of CFRP laminate has been studied. Static and fatigue tests are performed at different temperatures on unnotched (UN) and center-hole (CH) coupon specimens of a plain woven CFRP laminate for different fiber orientations as well as for different stress ratios. The off-axis static strengths of notched specimens at high temperature are lower than those at room temperature, but the degree of reduction in static strength is different depending on fiber orientation. The off-axis notched fatigue life of the plain woven CFRP laminates at difference temperatures is predicted using the notched fatigue life prediction method that was started to develop in an earlier study on the off-axis notched fatigue life for the plain woven CFRP laminates at room temperature. The values of fatigue life predicted using the method are compared with the fatigue lives observed in this study. The predicted off-axis notched fatigue life of the plain woven CFRP laminates at high temperature agrees well with the experimental fatigue life observed, demonstrating the potential usefulness of the notched fatigue life prediction method for off-axis notched fatigue at high temperature as well.
