In service fatigue loading of composite components damage prediction needs to be addressed, using experimental and numerical methods. However the majority of fatigues loading experimental data for characterizing composite materials are taken from constant amplitude tests. This is mainly due to the expensive and time-consuming nature of variable amplitude experiments. The fatigue effects are often...
