A quantitative residual stiffness model for carbon fiber reinforced polymer tendons
Summary
Not relevant to microplastics — this engineering study models residual stiffness degradation in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer tendons under fatigue loading, relevant to civil infrastructure but with no connection to microplastic research.
Abstract In this study, tension‐tension fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the residual stiffness degradation of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons. Different stress levels were used in the tests, and measurements of residual stiffness and the number of loading cycles were taken. Based on experimental data for CFRP tendons, a quantitative residual stiffness model was developed by modifying Yao's model. This model is applicable to various stress levels. To assess its accuracy and applicability, the predicted results of this model were compared with those of cited models from other researchers. The findings revealed a three‐stage degradation of residual stiffness in CFRP tendons under different stress levels. Furthermore, it was observed that the proportion of fatigue life accounted for by Stage III decreased with smaller stress ranges, while the proportion accounted for by Stage II increased. The proposed quantitative residual stiffness model was verified using both experimental and cited data.

Fatigue behaviour of load-bearing polymeric bone scaffolds: A review
This review examines how polymeric bone scaffolds used in tissue engineering perform under repeated mechanical stress, focusing on their fatigue behavior. While not directly about microplastics, the research is relevant because it explores how polymer materials break down under physical stress, which is similar to how plastic products degrade into microplastics in the environment. Understanding polymer fatigue helps explain why plastic materials fragment over time and contribute to micro- and nanoplastic pollution.
