Design  for  Fa1gue   Failure  Modes  

•  Composite  materials  generally  are  less  subject  


to  fa1gue  damage  because  fiber  architecture  
inhibits  crack  growth  
•  Fa1gue  loading  sources  include  main  hull  girder  
bending  for  larger  ships;  slamming  loads  for  
high-­‐speed  cras;  rota1ng  machinery;  and  road  
transport  for  smaller  boats

cons1tuents  on  the  fa1gue  
with  loading   performance  of  composites:  a  
review,”  Composites,  vol  20,  no  4,  
July,  1989]  
•  Joints  are  more  suscep1ble  to  fa1gue  damage  
than  panels  
•  Inadequate  laminate  s1ffness  can  contribute  to  composite  laminate  
fa1gue  damage

Bonded  Joint  Failures   Failure  Modes  

Adhesive  Failure:  Failure  of  a  bonded  joint  between  the  adhesive  and  
the  substrate  
•  Primarily  due  to  a  lack  of  chemical  bonding  between  the  adhesive  
and  the  bonding  substrate  
•  Can  be  indica1ve  of  poor  surface  prepara1on  or  contamina1on  
•  Or,  incorrect  adhesive  selec1on  for  the  substrate  materials  

Cohesive  failure:  Failure  of  an  adhesive  joint  occurring  primarily  in  
the  adhesive  layer  
•  Op1mum  type  of  failure  in  an  adhesive  bonded  joint  when  failure  
occurs  at  predicted  loads  
•  Lower  failure  loads  are  indica1ve  of  poorly  cured  adhesive  or  
moisture  or  other  contaminants  present  in  the  adhesive
