Int. Conference on Damage Mechanics 2023

Submitted by Cemal Basaran on

Dear Friends and Colleagues:


The Fourth International Conference on Damage Mechanics, ICDM4, will be held at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on May 15th-18th, 2023. The abstract submission will be due on December 15th, 2022. Please consider submitting an abstract using the templates (https://lnkd.in/gBEW8SKq). If you submitted an abstract in 2019, you would need to resubmit it before the deadline.
Best wishes to you all!

Professor George Voyiadjis
Conference Chair of ICDM4

New paper on a micromechanical model for the prediction of fatigue damage evolution and fatigue life (S-N curves)

Submitted by Bent F. Sørensen on

Have you ever though about what make composite materials fail under cyclic loading? In the paper we collect evidence of what is fatigue damage actually is. We combine the collected clues into a conceptual model for fatigue damage in unidirectional composites. Next, we formulate a mathematical micromechanical model. The model can predict the fatigue life of a unidirectional fibre composites from the basic mechanics properties of the fibre, matrix and the fibre/matrix interface.
