Short fiber reinforced composite (SFRC) materials have a different fiber orientation distribution (FOD) at every point. The fatigue properties of SFRC are known to depend on the FOD.The Master SN curve (MSNC) method for predicting an SN curve for a given FOD based on the known SN curve for the reference FOD is used to predict the local SN curve of a SFRC component by relating the damage at the microscopic level to the macroscopic fatigue properties. A simplified version of MSNC method, which needs even less experimental input, uses an assumption of constant SN curve slope is also presented in this paper. The paper validates both variants of the MSNC method on three sets of experimental data on fatigue of short fiber composites and analyses their accuracy. It is demonstrated that the MSNC approach needs only one SN curve as input with no specific requirements to the fiber orientation of the test coupon. Test coupons could have either uniform fiber orientation in the thickness or a "skin core" orientation variation. Highlights: A method for generating local SN curves for short fiber composites is presented  Method is based on combination of manufacturing studies, tests and micromechanics  Slope of SN curve is found to be independent of fiber orientation distribution(FOD)  Only one SN curve is needed as input with no restriction on FOD of reference coupon

“…If the independent phases are similar in shape and are of either uniform orientation or random orientation, the stiffness tensors of the aforementioned model are diagonally symmetric (Schjodt-Thomsen and Pyrz, 2001;Chen et al, 1990;Benveniste et al, 1989). But the stiffness tensors predicted by the M-T model for composites containing inclusions of various shapes, orientations and spatial distributions can be asymmetric (Casteneda and Willis, 1995;Li, 1999;Benveniste et al, 1991a).…”
