I have prepared the Glass/epoxy composite specimens using the hand layup method.
I would like to test these composites for fatigue. ASTM E606 available to me.
Can I perform the fatigue testing of the polymer matrix composites using the ASTM E606 standard?
what are the things that need to be considered while fatigue testing using ASTM E606?
I am a beginner in this area, could anybody elaborate the answer?
For the Fatigue Testing of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials, ASTM D3479 is used. For glass-Fiber Reinforced Plastic Rods(tensile), the ASTM D3916 is used.
Regarding to the ASTM E606, the main application is Strain-Controlled Fatigue Testing, so that it is used for Low-cycle fatigue tests where stress-strain curves gives useful information regarding the cyclic stability of a material, for example, whether the values of hardness, yield point, yield strength, and strain hardening exponent will increase or decrease.
More than researcher used ASTM E606 for Strain-Controlled Fatigue of composite materials such as

ASTM E606 and ASTM E466 are used for low and high cycle fatigue tests, respectively. In ASTM E606, the main application is strain controlled loading and in ASTM E446, the main application is force controlled loading condition. It should be noted that above- mentioned standards are used for metallic material. Moreover, for the fatigue testing of polymer matrix composite materials, ASTM D3479 is used.
