Abstract
Thanks to the progress of research on thermoplastic materials, the properties of composite materials have improved considerably.
The aim of this study is the evaluation of fatigue strength of glass-fibre-reinforced polypropylene composite (PPGF35) by applying both the Risitano Thermographic Method (RTM) and the new Static Thermographic Method (STM).
