Abstract

This paper primarily investigates the fatigue performance of carbon fiber composites and their bolted joint structures. Carbon fiber composites have gained increasing attention due to their high strength, lightweight properties, and corrosion resistance. However, technical challenges remain regarding the fatigue characteristics of carbon fiber composites and the durability of their joint structures in practical applications. This paper reviews the research progress on fatigue performance testing of carbon fiber composites at home and abroad, focusing on failure mechanisms under cyclic loading, fatigue life prediction methods, and key influencing factors. Additionally, the paper discusses the current research status of bolted joint structures in carbon fiber composites, analyzing the impact of different joint methods on structural fatigue performance, as well as existing experimental and simulation research methods.
