Abstract

In the present research, the optimum paths and orientations for curvilinear and straight fibers of variable-and constant-stiffness composite cylindrical shells subjected to an external hydrostatic pressure and bending were found. For this purpose, a linear variation in the fiber orientation was considered for the curvilinear fibers. A genetic algorithm program written in the Python language was developed and linked to the ABAQUS finite-element code and used in an optimization process. The optimization was performed for several aspect ratios of the length-to-diameter of composite cylindrical shells. The buckling pressure of the variable-stiffness composite cylindrical shell increased by about 30℅ in comparison with that of the constant-stiffness composite cylindrical shell under an external hydrostatic pressure. The gaps and overlaps were modeled using a Pythonbased program and the ABAQUS software to investigate their effects on the buckling load of variable-stiffness cylindrical shells under external pressure loads.
