A Comprehensive Process for Composite Design Optimisation
Jeff Brennan, Altair Engineering
Composite structures offer unmatched design potential as
laminate material properties can be tailored
almost continuously throughout the structure.
Moreover, composite laminate
can be manufactured to fit the ideal shape
of a structure for aerodynamic and other
performances. However, this increased design
freedom also brings new challenges for the
design process and software. It is shown in
this paper that optimization technology is
well
suited to exploit the potentials that composite
materials offer.
