Abstract

Journal of Composite Materials, Volume 60, Issue 13, Page 1175-1184, June 2026.
When composite laminates are subjected to random vibration loads, internal fatigue damage alters the material properties, which in turn affects the stress-strain response of the laminates. This forms an evolving process where response, damage, and ...
