Abstract
A fatigue and residual strength degradation model for constant amplitude cyclic loading has been modified and applied to fatigue of composites under service loading spectra. An exploratory study is made to describe the fatigue behavior of composites subject to spectrum loading using some base-line constant amplitude data. Available test data for both composite laminates and bonded joints under service loading spectra are used to correlate with the theoretical results.Keywords
