The broad application of polymer composites in engineering demands the deepunderstanding of the main damage mechanisms under realistic loading conditionsand the development of proper physics-based models. Towards this goal, thisstudy presents a comprehensive characterization of the main damage mechanismsin a selection of notched composite structures under multiaxial fatigueloading. Thanks to a synergistic combination of X-ray micro-computed tomography($\mu$-CT) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC), the main failure modes areidentified while the crack volume associated to each mechanism ischaracterized. This study provides unprecedented quantitative data for thedevelopment and validation of computational models to capture the fatiguebehavior of polymer composite structures.
