Artificial neural networks (ANN) and polynomial classifiers (PC) have been successfully used to predict the fatigue failure of fiber reinforced composite materials. This includes predicting the behavior of the same material subjected to different loading conditions as well as predicting the fatigue behavior of different materials. In this work, the fatigue life prediction obtained using both methods will be compared. The effect of the various parameters influencing the prediction will be presented and the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods will be discussed.

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.
