In this article, experimental tests under static tensile loadings and tension-tension cyclic loadings were conducted for T300/924 unidirectional laminated composites at different porosity levels. On the basis of the experimental tests, a physical-based residual stiffness model for porous CFRP composites was put forward. The present model describes the deterioration of composites under cyclic loading in perspective of the initiation and propagation of cracks in the matrix, and is capable of capturing the effect of voids on fatigue behaviors of the composites. Lastly, the stiffness degradations of laminates with different void contents under various stress levels were predicted, and the predicted stiffness reduction as well as fatigue life of the material agreed well with the experimental data.
