ABSTRACT
Fatigue strength of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, CFRP, in which pitc~ type ~ar
bon fiber was combined :in an epox:iJ.d:e resin ma'trix with a fiber content of 33%'. by.' weight,
was studied by means of an AE me1thod and: fractography. For CFRP, the ratio of ~atigue
strength to ultimate tensile strength is,
greater than that of epoxide resin. Such a, result suggests that the pitch type carbon fiber
contributes to an increase in fatigue strength
under cyclic stress. Also, the fatigue
strength for CFRP decreases with increasing
mean stress.

CF~ is laminated 8' layers Ill7li the- cond1tion o'f
temperature of 403K and pressure of 0.5MPa for
20 min. The ultimate tensile strength, Young
modulus and elongation of CFRP are 69.1MPa,
5900MPa, and 1%" respectively. F'j,g.1 shows the
dimension of fatigue specimen,.
Fatigue tests were done on an MTS electro-hydraulic fatigue testing machine for two
stress ratios of R=O and 0.5 at a constant
frequency of 20Hz. To obtain a fundamental fatigue properties of resin matrlx, the fat1gue
test was also done for epoxy at a stress ratio
of R=O.
The measurement of acoustic emission(AE)
wave was performed by using two AE sensors
which were bonded on a fatigue specimen surface at interval of 60mm. After fatigue tests,
the AE waves were analyzed using 16b1t microcomputer and then AE cumulative event count,
AE energy and AE amplitude were represented
against the number of cycles. Fractography was
done by using SEM.
