Optimum Design of a Flexible Matrix Composite Driveshaft Using Genetic Algorithms

유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 유연 복합재 구동축의 최적 설계

This study intends to provide an optimum design of flexible matrix composite driveshafts using a genetic algorithm. An objective function is defined as a combination of shaft flexibility, whirling stability and torsional buckling and the design variables are selected as ply angles and the shaft thickness. Results show that the genetic algorithm can successfully find an optimum solution at which the overall performance of the FMC shafts is significantly enhanced
