ANALYSIS ON THE FATIGUE FRACTURE CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOSITE INSULATOR CORE ROD by ZHAO XinZe, XI SenMing, WANG Lei, PENG WenYu, ZHAO MeiYun

“…The results show that the fatigue fracture process of core rod is actually a stress corrosion process, which means that under the action of stress, the crack of the fiber gradually deepens until it breaks. The deformation and abrasion caused by the cyclic stress all determined the fracture surface morphology. …”
