Based　on　the　consideration　of　matrix　porosity　and　representative　volume　element　of　needled　structure,　the　macroscopic　elastic　constants　of　needled　C/SiC　ceramic　matrix　composite　and　the　stress　concentration　factor　of　the　hole-edge　were　calculated　by　the　finite　element　method　first.　Then,　based　on　the　fatigue　test　data　of　the　smooth　and　central　hole　specimens,　the　fatigue　notch　factors　corresponding　to　different　stress　levels　were　ob-tained.　In　view　of　the　different　characteristics　of　the　fatigue　notch　factor　obtained　under　different　limit　lives,　the　relationship　between　the　fatigue　notch　and　stress　concentration　factors　was　established,　and　the　influence　of　nominal　stress　on　the　fatigue　notch　factor　was　also　considered.　Based　on　this,　a　fatigue　life　prediction　method　for　central　hole　of　needled　C/SiC　composite　was　proposed.　The　proposed　method　can　predict　the　fatigue　life　of　central　hole　by　using　the　S-N　curve　of　smooth　specimen　and　the　stress　concentration　factor　of　central　hole　specimen.　The　comparison　between　predicted　and　experimental　lives　showed　that　the　proposed　method　can　better　predict　the　fatigue　life　of　central　hole　specimen　for　needled　C/SiC　composite.
