Optimal design and testing of laminated light-weight composite structures with local reinforcements considering strength constraints part I: Design
2014, Composites Part A: Applied Science and ManufacturingCitation Excerpt :However, with increasing complexity, the application of computer based systems in the design process becomes necessary. There is a group of publications [10–14] reporting on optimal design of a laminated plate for a given global stress state using mathematical programming or optimality criteria. The layer thicknesses, the layer orientations, or both are taken as design variables to find weight-minimal solutions considering strength constraints.
Computational structural tailoring of continuous fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites by hybridisation of principal stress and thickness optimisation
2014, Composite StructuresCitation Excerpt :Within this field, optimality conditions based on strain energy or stress fields can be derived but also optimality conditions taking principal stress/strain directories or load path vectors as optimal directions are applied. Strain energy based criteria can be found in [5], where the ply thickness of different straightline fibre formats with different fibre angles (e.g. 0/−45/+45/90) are updated according to a constant strain energy level throughout the structure. Pedersen [29] also derived an approach for optimal fibre orientation according to energy density minimisation for maximum stiffness of the structure.
