Layup Optimization for Composite Laminates with Discrete Ply Angles

이산 섬유 배열각을 이용한 복합재료 적층 평판의 최적 설계

In this paper, an algorithm for stacking sequence optimization which deals with discrete ply angles is used for optimization of composite laminated plates. To handle discrete ply angles, the branch and bound method is modified. Numerical results show that the optimal stacking sequence is found with fewer evaluations of objective function than expected with the size of feasible region, which shows the algorithm can be effectively used for layup optimization of composite laminates..
