Notes:
A comparison of the flexural fatigue characteristics of E-glass and Kevlar® 49 aramid in polyester and vinyl ester resin hand lay-ups typical of boat hull laminates is presented. Data on unidirectional E-glass and aramid composites from epoxy preimpregnated tapes are reported for comparison. The data indicate that while the initial flexural strength of E-glass woven roving laminates is greater than that of aramid laminates, the runout stress of aramid laminates at 106 fatigue cycles is similar or superior to glass. S-N curves for aramid laminates are flatter indicating better flexural fatigue resistance.
