In the current study, Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) based neural networks (NN) model with one hidden layer was utilized to predict fatigue lives of polymer-matrix composites under wide spectrum of fatigue stress ratios. E-glass/epoxy (Material I), E-glass/polyester (Material II) and AS4/PEEK (Mater...
