Resumen: Methodology to model fatigue damage accumulation of Fiber-Reinforced Plastics (FRP) composite laminates subjected to variable amplitude spectrum loading is proposed in this paper. Markov chain based Probability Transition Matrices (PTM) are modeled for each of the different block load levels, applying matrix multiplication to combine the PTM''s, resulting in a single probability mass function for the full variable amplitude load spectrum. Variable amplitude block load experimental data was used to demonstrate and validate the methodology and compare against other for Fiber-Reinforced Plastics commonly applied linear and non-linear damage accumulation and strength degradation based fatigue damage accumulation models. PTM''s modeled directly from experimental data for the different variable amplitude load levels were obtained to calculate the probability of failure for the full load spectrum. When applying Markov chain based probability transition matrices together with matrix multiplications, both load sequence effects as well as non-linear fatigue damage growth behavior can be accurately modeled, resulting that the model predicts failure probabilities very close to the actual experimental results. © 2022
