Probabilistic Modelling of Fatigue Life of Composite Laminates Using Bayesian Inference
A probabilistic model for estimating the fatigue life of laminated composite plates subjected to constant-amplitude or variable-amplitude loading is developed. The model is based on lamina-level input data, making it possible to predict fatigue properties for a wide range of laminate configurations.
Model parameters are estimated by Bayesian inference. The reference data used consists of constant-amplitude fatigue test results for a multi-directional laminate subjected to seven different load ratios. The paper describes the modelling techniques and the parameter estimation procedure, supported by an illustrative application and result assessment.
