Apply Artificial Neural Networks to Estimate Stress Distribution around Holes Edge in Composites

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the fast determination of stress distribution around a circular hole in symmetric composite laminates under in-plane loading. For this purpose calculation of stress values in the composite plate around edge holes in different plies position for a finite number of input data sets using the Lekhnitskii expressions and code program. The resulting data would then be used to train artificial neural networks (ANN) which would be able to predict –accurately enough- those quantities throughout the composite plate body for any given input value in any position ply and fore and stress that impose.
