Thanks to the progress of research on thermoplastic materials, the properties of composite materials have improved considerably. The aim of this study is the evaluation of fatigue strength of glass-fibre-reinforced polypropylene composite (PPGF35) by applying both the Risitano Thermographic Method (RTM) and the new Static Thermographic Method (STM).
