Determination of Stress Concentration Factor for a Rectangular Bar with Fillet Under Axial Loading: An Artificial Neural Networks Approach

Abstract

Using computer techniques, stress concentration factors from the graphs can be converted into numerical values. Stress concentration factor values were collected in a database and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model can be developed for improving and extending the database. ANN model provides accuracy in obtaining the stress concentration factor values.
