Abstract
Understanding fatigue damage mechanisms in short fiber reinforced thermoplastics is a key issue in order to optimize material processing and propose physically based multiscale fatigue damage models. The present work aims at further understanding observations of fatigue damage in the polyamide 6.6 matrix with respect to its semi-crystalline structure. In this paper the polymer and associated composite are tested in their ductile regime i.e. above the glass transition temperature. Tomographic and SEM observations are used in order to establish a damage scenario at the spherulitic scale. These observations prove that fatigue damage progresses by intraspherulitic failure in their equatorial plane. Observations of the spherulite nuclei also evidence the oriented structure of the semi-crystalline polymer induced by the injection-molding manufacturing process.
