Abstract Fatigue curves for composites are derived from those of the components, with as little arbitrariness as possible. Even with this restriction, the expected fatigue behaviour of the composites turns out to be of a rather diverse nature, depending on modulus ratio, volume fraction, and residual stress. The results concern pulsating tension as well as fluctuating load at an arbitrary mean stress. By comparison with available experimental data, our results lead to a better understanding of composite behaviour.
