Abstract This publication presented the main issues related to fatigue of polymer composite materials. It was featured a fatigue stress test based on composite sample, made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, using the four-point bending method. The test was carried out with the initial load and using positive load cycles. The perspectives of diagnostics and self-healing of composite materials, including intelligent materials, were also presented.

Contimuum Damage Healig Mechanics is an extension of CDM recently developed by the authors to model healing process in a variety of materials including rock salt, sinterized metals, ceramics, and polymer-matrix composties, bone and so. on. While the theoretical framework, of CDHM is general, parameter identification depends on the particular material being modeled and the specific material tests that are feasible to conduct for that class of materials. This presentation deals with the application of CDHM to the specific field of fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composites. An overview of CDHM will be presented followed by a description of parameter identification. Results are shown in order in validate the numerical model of healing behavior of damaged polymeric matrix composite. Healed and not healed cases discussed in order show the model capability and to describe possible evoltution of the healed system.

The Family

During the past 25 years materials scientists have been able to make a major change in the way materials are considered for application. In the past designers have worked with data representing the properties of homogeneous, isotropic materials and designed their components to fit written accepted ranges of “design allowables”. More recently, however, the concept of composite materials has permitted almost limitless tailoring of composites to create entirely new designs never previously possible. By choice of types of material constituents, their relative percentages and their orientation the designer can now work closely with the materials scientist to optimize system performance. This philosophy has firmly taken hold in the family of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites and more recently has made metal matrix composites an industrial reality.
