Assessment of Damage in a Unidirectional Off-axis Carbon-Epoxy Composite Under Cyclic Loading
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cyclic tests were conducted on unidirectional HTA/6376 specimens in order to isolate and describe the degradation of an off-axis composite, resulting in matrix dominated failure. Specimens were loaded at 45° to the fibre axis and tested first under quasi-static conditions and then under tension-tension fatigue. Resulting stress-life curves for the 45° off-axis carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy were shallow, resulting in a large amount of scatter. Damage was monitored using strain gauge rosettes in the loading and transverse directions, as well as perpendicular to the fibres. Hysteresis loops were described by different definitions of modulus and strain accumulation, thus providing models based on dynamic, cyclic creep and total fatigue damage. Although the cyclic creep model described damage, including that in the first cycle, the total fatigue modulus is preferred based on its ability to collapse all damage curves into one. Use of this master curve permits accurate prediction of fatigue lives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
