Excerpt from A Fatigue Model for Fiber-Reinforced Polymeric Composites for Offshore Applications
Over the last three decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (f rp) composites have been used extensively in a wide range of aerospace and military applications. There is a growing interest in extending the use of these materials into civil engineering structures such as offshore platforms An urgent need exists to develop quantitative analysis and methodology for assessing the safety and reliability of using polymer composites in these applications. One particularly critical issue in regard to using polymer composites in structural applications is their fatigue reliability in different environments and loading conditions. Fatigue damage in polymer composites for non civil engineering applications has been extensively investigated [3 Studies of the effects of water or salt water on the fatigue behavior of polymer composites have also been widely reported [8 However, there is little quantitative research on the effects of civil engineering environments, namely water, sea water, concrete pore solution, temperature, ultraviolet radiation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, materials increasingly used in demanding applications like offshore structures. It addresses a critical concern: the fatigue reliability of these composites when exposed to harsh marine environments. Historically, FRPs have proven their worth in aerospace and military sectors. However, their transition to civil engineering presents unique challenges due to constant exposure to water, seawater, fluctuating temperatures, and ultraviolet radiation. The author tackles these challenges head-on, developing a model to predict the fatigue life of FRPs under diverse conditions. Through rigorous experiments and analysis, the book explores the impact of factors such as applied stress, loading frequency, and environmental conditions on the material's performance. The author's model accurately predicts fatigue life and residual strength, offering valuable insights into the behavior of FRPs in real-world settings. Understanding these complexities is crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of structures that rely on FRP composites. This book equips engineers and researchers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about material selection and design, ultimately contributing to the advancement of durable and reliable infrastructure in challenging environments.
