A brief review of some polynomial criteria commonly used to predict the fatigue failure of laminated composites under complex stress-strain states is presented. It is noted that the main disadvantages of such criteria are their considerable complexity and laboriousness. In order to obtain estimates of the fatigue life, acceptable from the viewpoint of accuracy and laboriousness, for laminated composites under such stress-strain states, a special criterion of fatigue failure according to the “minimum fatigue life” is proposed. A calculation example confirming the efficiency of the criterion suggested is presented.
