In present paper the fatigue life of aluminum alloy 7075 T73 under constant amplitude loading is predicted using ANN and ANFIS models. Many neural networks models are used for this purpose and also different neuro-fuzzy models are built for predict fatigue life.Theclassical power law formula ismost common used to find fatigue behaviors of materials. In present study, two techniques are used to find coefficients of the formula linear and nonlinear regression. Forcomparison the fatigue life curves of soft computing methods are plotted together with two conventionalmethods. The neural network and neuro-fuzzy models give good results compared with two conventional methods. Also it is shown thatneural network model which is trained using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is best neural network modelscompared with other NNS models.Also, it is foundANFIS models with input trapezoidal membership function is best performance from other membership function types to predict fatigue life. It can be stated that neuro-fuzzy models are better models than neural network and conventional methods to predict fatigue life of the maintained alloy.
