The interfacial behaviour of fibre‐reinforced composites subjected to tension fatigue loading is studied based on the shear‐lag model. The governing equations of this problem are obtained and solved. In order to describe the interfacial debonding, the Paris fatigue crack growth formula as well as a modified degradation model for the coefficient of friction is adopted. Finally some important values related to interfacial debonding are obtained. In the present investigation, Poisson's contraction is considered.
