Abstract

FMLC(Fiber-Metal Laminate Composites) is a new structural material combining thin metal laminate with adhesive fiber prepreg, it nearly include all the advantage of metallic materials, for example: good plasticity, impact resistance, processibility, light weight and excellent fatigue properties. This research studied the optimum design of the FMLC subject to various loading conditions using genetic algorithm. The finite element method based on the shear deformation theory was used for the analysis of FMLC. Tasi-Hill failure criterion and Miser yield criterion were taken as fitness functions of the fiber prepreg and the metal laminate, respectively. The design variables were fiber orientation angles. In genetic algorithm, the tournament selection and the uniform crossover method were used. The elitist model was also used to be effective evolution strategy and the creeping random search method was adopted in order to approach a solution with high accuracy. Optimization results were given for various loading conditions and compared with CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). The results show that the FMLC is more excellent than the CFRP in point and uniform loading conditions and it is more stable to unexpected loading because the deviation of failure index is smaller than that of CFRP.

섬유-금속 적층 복합재료(FMLC)는 섬유와 금속 박판으로 구성된 새로운 형태의 구조재로 가볍고 우수한 피로 특성을 가지며 금속과 같이 가소성과 충격저항성이 우수하고, 가공성이 뛰어나다. 본 연구에서는 여러 하중 조건하에 있는 섬유-금속 적층 복합재료를 유전자 알고리듬을 이용하여 최적 설계하였다. 전단변형이론에 근거한 유한요소법을 사용하여 적층판을 해석하였으며, 설계변수로 금속판의 강도와 섬유 층의 수에 따른 적층각도를 두었다. 섬유층과 금속판의 적합도 함수로는 각각 Tasi-Hill failure criterion과 Miser yield criterion을 사용하였다. 유전자 알고리듬의 연산자로는 토너먼트 선택과 균일 교배를 사용하였다. 효율적인 진화를 위해 엘리티스트 모델을 사용하며, 높은 정확도를 가진 해를 얻기 위해 크리프 무작위 탐색(creeping random search) 방법을 통해 더 우수한 자손을 얻었다. 여러 가지 하중 조건에 대하여 최적설계 결과를 나타내었으며, 파괴 지수 측면에서 탄소섬유강화복합재료(CFRP)와 비교하였다. 해석 결과 섬유-금속 적층 복합재료는 탄소섬유강화복합재료에 비하여 집중하중이나 분포하중 형태에 대하여 우수한 특성을 보였으며, 파괴 지수의 편차가 적어 예기치 않은 하중에 잘 견딜 것으로 사료된다.
