Abstract

 In this paper, we try to use a multiple linear regression method to explicitly describe the explicit relation between the stress concentration coefficient of plates containing elliptic openings in terms of mechanical properties and the angle of rotation of openness. First, the stress concentration coefficient for a lot of composites was calculated by the analytical method based on the mixed variable method and using different values of the mechanical properties of the composites. Using the obtained data, using the regression method multiple linear the explicit relation was used to estimate the stress concentration coefficient in unbounded composite plates containing elliptic openings under tensile load. It is important to note that several factors affect the concentration of tension around openness. Therefore, by correct selection of these parameters, it can be significantly reduced the stress concentration and increased the structural strength. One of these factors is the angle of rotation of openness, which is discussed in this article. In addition to the ease of use, the proposed relationship, by eliminating complex and complex analytical solutions, saves time and allows the designer to obtain the desired parameters to achieve the desired stress. The results showed that the regression model was able to estimate the coefficient of stress concentration with an error of less than 1 percent.
