Abstract
One of the typical fatigue failures of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) components undergoing vibration loading is by delamination. Vibration fatigue tests are carried out at amplitude levels at which a sample undergoes to large deflections, and so high strains, to initiate the fatigue process. However, the higher the vibration amplitudes the higher the nonlinear vibration spectral contents will be. Furthermore, the occurrence of delamination generates additional nonlinear harmonics which are excitation cycles dependent, which means that the nonlinear stiffness changes with the component time to failure. This research work will attempt to create a multi-dimension stiffness map which is both function of the vibration amplitude and the number of cycles. The restoring surface map will be used to calculate the stiffness amplitude dependent as the fatigue process develops until the termination of the test. The ability to continuously monitor the nonlinear stiffness will allow to characterize the crack as it develops from a non-critical to a critical delamination size.
