Abstract
This paper reported simultaneous monitoring damage evolution of flexural fatigue in unidirectional carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon composites (C/C composites) by electrical resistance change (ERC) methods. The degree of irregularity in electrical resistance changes increased with stress levels increasing. The shapes of electrical resistance change rate–fatigue cycle curves can reflect stress levels and damage types of tested samples: sawtooth shapes reflected delamination at a higher stress level; and “peak” shapes reflected inner damages in one fiber bundle at the fatigue limit stress level. In addition, the similarity of initial electrical resistance–fatigue life curve and S–N curve was observed clearly. In summary, ERC methods can monitor the damage evolution and qualitatively estimate the fatigue life of unidirectional C/C composites.
