A probabilistic model for estimating the fatigue life of laminated composite plates 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 cycle test results for four laminates with different layup configurations.
The paper describes the modeling techniques and the parameter estimation procedure, supported by an illustrative application.
