An effective method for evaluating the fatigue strength of thick unidirectional composite laminates of wing spar caps has been presented here. A typical width-tapered bending specimen has been developed for a four-point loading set up. Static and fatigue loading was performed at a load ratio R = -1. The complex stress state has been investigated numerically by finite element analysis. Finally, the concept is proven experimentally on specimens made of pultruded fibre rods.
The fatigue behavior of the continuously tapered width by water Jet cutting has been compared to discrete tapering via rod-drop. The new method enables a screening of material fatigue behavior caused by normal and shear loading.
Fatigue life evaluation of spar cap materials by four point bending test on width-tapered specimens

The presented research project focuses on an effective method to evaluate the fatigue strength of thick unidirectional laminates to be applied in spar caps. Therefore, a width-tapered bending specimen was developed for a four point loading set up. Static and fatigue loading was performed with the load ratio of R=-1. The complex stress state was investigated numerically with a finite element analysis. Finally, the concept was proven experimentally on specimens made of pultruded fibre rods. The fatigue behaviour of continuous tapered width by water jet cutting was compared to discrete tapering by rod-drop.
