An　applied　approach　for　predicting　the　fatigue　life　of　the　through-hole　for　needled　ceramic　matrix　composite　was　proposed　by　using　the　0°　layers　volume　fraction　and　the　fatigue　notch　factor,　which　can　be　applicable　for　the　needled　composite　with　different　lamination　types.　In　the　proposed　approach,　the　fatigue　limit　and　stress-life　(S–N)　curve　of　the　needled　ceramic　matrix　composite　with　different　0°　layer　volume　fractions　were　estimated　by　interpolation　method　first.　On　this　basis,　combined　with　the　fatigue　notch　factor　determined　by　the　smooth　and　through-hole　specimens　with　arbitrary　0°　layer　volume　fraction,　the　fatigue　life　of　the　through-hole　can　be　predicted.　By　comparing　the　predicted　lives　with　the　experimental　lives,　the　proposed　fatigue　life　prediction　approach　has　high　prediction　accuracy.　©　2023
