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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
