The widespread use of polymer composite materials is largely constrained by the complexity of predicting the characteristics of their stress-strain state under cyclic types of loading. Due to the poor knowledge of the behavior of polymer composite materials under this kind of loading. At present, it is rather difficult to predict the durability of polymer composite materials under static types of loading, and the available methods for materials of a crystalline structure and polymers are not always applicable to them. Insufficient theoretical and experimental data on the assessment of the stress-strain state of polymer concretes under prolonged loading. Under long-term action of cyclic loads, changes in the structure of polymer composite materials occur due to local self-heating at the tops of growing submicrocracks and the associated change in the elastic-hesteretic properties of the material. In this case, the energy of fatigue manifests itself, when the simultaneous multifactorial cyclic action of natural and force stresses leads to an effect that exceeds the total action of certain types of stresses. And, if such processes have been sufficiently studied for wood, a natural polymer material, then for artificial conglomerates, such as polymer composites, these issues require careful study.
Studies of the endurance of epoxy polymer concretes were carried out on samples of prisms 100x100x400 mm according to the method developed by the authors. The formula was used to determine the minimum number of samples required to build endurance lines. The value of the cycle asymmetry coefficient was taken equal to 0.6. The value of the maximum cyclic loading was taken from 0.62 Rв with a gradual decrease.
The values of the endurance limit of an epoxy composite material under cyclic loading Rв,pul = 0.43 Rв or 93.72 MPa were obtained, which makes it possible to judge the sufficient durability of this material.
