This study proposes a novel Double-layer Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) neural network model, shorted as TDA-BiLSTM, which integrates Transfer learning and Attention mechanisms. The model aims to predict the fatigue life of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) thin plate structures subjected to very high cycle random vibration fatigue loads. Distinct from conventional servo-hydraulic and ultrasonic fatigue testing methods, this research pioneers the use of a vibration table for very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) testing to fill the gap in the field. By training and validating data across various life ranges, the TDA-BiLSTM model demonstrates significant advantages in training speed and predicting accuracy. Its bidirectional structure and attention mechanism effectively capture complex patterns and long-term dependencies in sequence data. Experimental results indicate that the TDA-BiLSTM model achieves significantly lower Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) compared to Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Long Short-Term Memory with Transfer learning (Tr-LSTM) models across different life ranges on the ε-N curve, indicating higher accuracy and stability in strain life prediction tasks. Additionally, an analysis of typical damage areas using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) reveals the failure mechanisms of CFRP plates under very high cycle vibration fatigue loads.
