Abstract

There is a noticeable lack of fatigue data on plant fibre composites (PFCs) which seriously limits their prospective use in fatigue critical components. The objective of this manuscript is to provide a complete set of fatigue data on vacuum infused aligned PFCs. S-N lifetime diagrams have been constructed to investigate the effect of i) plant fibre type/quality, ii) fibre content, iii) textile architecture, and iv) stress ratio, on PFC cyclic loading behaviour. At each stage, the fatigue performance of PFCs is compared to that of E-glass/polyester (GFRP) composites. A comprehensive constant-life diagram has been generated for hemp/polyester composites to facilitate life prediction of a PFC component.
It is a revelation to find that PFCs have better normalised fatigue performance than GFRP. While plant fibre type and quality, textile architecture and composite fibre content have a significant impact on the static properties, they have little impact on the material fatigue strength coefficient b (which dictates the slope of the S-N curve). In essence, higher static properties are a sign of superior fatigue loading capacities throughout their lifetime. Fracture mechanisms and modes are the same for all plant fibre types, but depend on fibre content, textile architecture and load regimes (stress ratios).
Increasing stress ratios lead to improved fatigue performance in PFCs. Comparison of normalised constant-life diagrams for PFC and GFRP show that PFCs are significantly more stable in tension-tension and tension-compression fatigue than GFRP but due to the lower compressive strength, they are poorer in compression-compression fatigue loading.
