TL;DR: In this paper, the change in the modulus of elasticity due to fatigue damage is studied for uni-axial bending, and a coupled approach of residual stiffness and strength is capable of simulating the three stages of stiffness degradation: initial decline, gradual reduction and final failure.

TL;DR: The ASTM D3518/D3518M-94(2001) standard test method for "In-Plane Shear Response of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials by Tensile Test of a ±45° Laminate" is based on the uniaxial tensile stress-strain response of a composite laminate which is symmetrically laminated about the midplane as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined experimental-numerical approach for extraction of the strain rate and temperature dependent mechanical behavior from high strain rate experiments is presented, which involves the identification of the material model parameters used for the finite element simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an investigation of the fatigue performance of plain woven glass/epoxy composite materials and of the numerical modelling of these composites' behavior under fatigue. But they do not provide a detailed analysis of the material properties and do not describe the degradation behavior of the composite specimen during its fatigue life.
