Abstract
This study investigates the performance of flax fiber and epoxy resin composites, focusing on fatigue testing, which is scarcely reported in the literature. Fatigue behavior is evaluated under full reverse bending loading conditions: R = −1. Apart of the definition of the classic S-N curve, the analysis deeply investigated the evolution of the hysteresis leaf generated during each cycle over the entire fatigue life. This approach allows evaluating interesting parameters such as the evolution of the loss factor and the apparent modulus over life, being these informations fundamental for practical application of natural-fiber composites in engineering applications.
