Fatigue Life Prediction of Different Fiber-Reinforced Composites Using Polynomial Classifiers

Abstract

Polynomial classifiers (PC) have already been shown to produce good fatigue life prediction for a specific composite under a variety of fatigue loading conditions. In this study, polynomial classifiers are used to predict the fatigue life in other composite materials not used in training. Different composite materials with a variety of fiber orientation angles are considered. The predictions obtained using PC are compared with the experimental results and are shown to be promising.
