composite material fatigue
 

composite material fatigue
can anyone assist in providing details on good reference documentation regarding fatigue of epoxy graphite composite laminate structures?
i am specifically interested in the effect on fatigue life of the material due to a fastener installation with a knife-edge condition in the basic laminate.
like i say good reference books etc would be good, however, if anyone has any thoughts on the specific problem above please let me know!
thanks!
you could try asm vol 21 composites, composites aircraft structures by michael c.y. niu and fatique of aircraft materials.
how about mil-hdbk-17 which deals with composites and can be found on
