..., service conditions that introduce cyclic variations in stresses and strains are inevitably involved. The fatigue of MGs is thus a topic of research and practical interest. In this review, a brief introduction on MGs, their applications and challenges, is first provided. Next, experimental studies...

... loading scenarios, like impact and fatigue loading. From a simulation point of view, virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) and cohesive zone model (CZM), the two most famous methods of delamination modeling, are compared and elaborated. Their implementation techniques are described, and their merits...

... tests can only be done if reliable simulation techniques are available. Simulation techniques for fatigue loading are particularly interesting because products generally have to perform their function over a period of time. For the textile structural composites concerned in this paper, some notable...

... and more reliable composite structures or components. However, efforts to include fatigue delamination in the simulation of composites have not yet been consolidated. Besides that, there is a lack of a proper categorization of the published methods in terms of their predictive capabilities...
