Abstract
The objective of this study is to characterize the fatigue strength of a Kevlar/epoxy laminate composite as well as the benefits obtained by using an epoxy matrix filled by cork powder. Twelve ply laminates, all in the same direction, of woven bi-directional Kevlar 292, were prepared by hand lay-up, using an SR 1500 epoxy resin. The composite sheets were produced by a vacuum moulding process. The addition of cork powder reduces the static strength, however, in terms of fatigue strength a similar behavior was found for both laminates.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
