Effect of the properties of the constituents on the fatigue performance of composites: a review

Abstract The effects of the properties of the constitutuents of advanced composites on their fatigue performance are reviewed for unnotched unidirectional and crossply laminates, subjected to mainly tensile cyclic loading. It is pointed out that there are close relations between the properties of matrix, fibre and interphase and the resulting fatigue performance of the composites.
