title = "Cyclic behaviour of axially loaded laminated composite beams",
abstract = "In this study, the fatigue behaviour of laminated composite beams subjected to the axial cyclic loading has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The axial fatigue tests of the laminated beams are performed to obtain the fatigue properties of the laminated composites. The displacement amplitude in each test is found to be almost constant as the number of cycles is increased. However, the displacement in both minimum and maximum load is increasing as the number of cycles is increased. The numerical fatigue models found in the literature are studied together with the experimental data obtained in this study and the parameters used in these fatigue models are determined. The experimental data is incorporated into a numerical model and the numerical fatigue model is applied on the prediction of the fatigue life of a blade.",
