Overcoming limitations of the conventional strain-life fatigue damage model
Article Abstract:
A two-parameter curve fit of the strain-life equation overcomes the inconsistency of the strain-life equation with the locally fitted strain-life component data. A nonlinear least-squares method is used in the two-parameter curve. Compared to the uncorrected curve, the corrected curve causes more damage to the cycles for extreme high and low strain conditions. The self-consistent forms of the Smith-Watson-Topper model are determined.

An investigation of the formability of long fiber thermoplastic composite sheets
Article Abstract:
Analytical and experimental studies help evaluate the utility of long fiber thermoplastic composite sheets for solid-phase forming processes. The forming tests were conducted for different forming temperatures ranging between glass transition temperature and polypropylene matrix melting point. A continuum material behavior model with rational symmetry and normal anisotropy helps develop a method for analysis of the forming process.

An investigation of necking instability in fiber reinforced polypropylene
Article Abstract:
A simple linear viscoelastic model predicts the stress-strain behavior and the localized necking instability in glass fiber reinforced polypropylene. Under appropriate forming temperatures and strain rates, the composites are ideal for solid-phase formability. Such composites with high strain rate sensitivity have delayed local necking. The maximum limit strain is a function of temperature and strain rate.
