Abstract :Abstract   The shear modulus of the composite materials and the elastic properties of the fiber are similar to each other. In this study, the effect of reinforcing type and weight ratio on the shear modulus of carbon/epoxy and kevlar/epoxy composites was theoretically investigated and the average error rates and correlation values were analyzed. Artificial neural networks approach was used in the study. The ratio of Ssa/SiC was determined as minimum and maximum of 0 and 20, respectively. In artificial neural network method, 6 neurons one hidden layer were used. It was observed that SiC was an important reinforcing phase for kevlar/epoxy composites but it was not for carbon/epoxy composites.
