Fatigue degradation and life prediction of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer composites after saltwater corrosion

This paper describes the degradation of the tension-tension fatigue behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites after exposure to a salt solution. Two levels of stress ratio (R = 0.1 and 0.8) were applied to typical fatigue applications during the experiment. The stiffness degradat...
