An experimental investigation into ratcheting strain and stress-strain hysteresis loop in stress-controlled cyclic tensile tests at room temperature was performed to determine the effect of loading frequency on the cyclic mechanical behavior of highdensity polyethylene (HDPE). It was found that frequencies ranging from 0.01 Hz up to 1 Hz mostly affects the accumulated strain over related time scales (i.e that of the cycle itself) and not over long time scale (i.e. during the full test). In addition, the higher the frequency is, the more closed and vertical the loops are. Furthermore, the frequency affects only on the kinetics of stabilization of ratcheting strain but not on one of hysteresis loop.

Conventional fatigue damage test of asphalt mixture is usually under the condition of constant stress-mode or strain-mode, the specimen is broken when the cyclic load reaches certain number of times. In fact, vehicles on the road are not continuous, traffic volume is different in different time, there is a time interval between neighbouring vehicles. In this paper, time interval was set between two neighbouring cycles, the effect of recovery way, strain size and temperature on cumulative dissipated energy were analyzed. The results show that: in the early stages, recovery methods have little impact on the cumulative dissipated energy, with the increase of cyclic number, the value of trabecular under unconstrained condition will be greater than that of trabecular under constrained one. The bigger the strain size, the greater the value of cumulative dissipated energy; The lower the temperature, the greater the value of cumulative dissipated energy. Under the conditon of low strain size or high temperature , the value of cumulative dissipated energy decreases linearly. For the high strain or low temperature, there is a sharp decrease between the first cycle and second cycle, and then decreases linely in the later cylcles.

Fiberglass reinforced composites are extensively used in various structural components. In order to insure their structural integrity, their monotonic and fatigue properties under multiaxial stress fields must be understood. Combined in-phase tension/torsion loading is applied to [±45°]4 E-glass/epoxy composite tubes under monotonic and fatigue conditions to determine the effects of multiaxial loading on its failure. Various monotonic and fatigue damage criteria are proposed. These models considered failure mode (failure plane), the energy method and the effective stress-strain method. It is observed for the majority of experiments, the failure initiated at the outer lamina layer at 45° to the tube axis. A damage criterion for multiaxial monotonic loading is proposed considering both normal and shear stress contributions on the plane of failure. The experimental data show an excellent agreement with this proposed model for various loading conditions. Other failure models are currently under investigation utilizing the stresses and strains at the composite laminate as well as stress and strain at the outer lamina layer. Multiaxial fatigue failure models are proposed considering again the plane of failure. Since the plane of the failure is subjected to mean and cyclic stresses (shear and normal) and mean and cyclic strains (shear and normal), the fatigue damage models consider the contributions of these stresses and strains to the fatigue life of the composite tube. In addition to the fatigue damage model based on the plane of failure, a multi-axial fatigue failure model is proposed considering the mean and cyclic energy during fatigue experiments. The experimental data show a good correlation between the proposed damage parameters and fatigue life of specimens with some scatter of the data. Other fatigue failure models are currently under investigation considering the loading frequency and visco-elastic properties of the composite.
