Optimum stacking sequence design of composite materials Part II: Variable stiffness design
Source abstract
Abstract
A composite laminate may be designed as a permutation of several straight-fiber layers or as a matrix embracing fibers positioned in curvilinear paths. The former called a constant stiffness design and the latter known as variable stiffness design. The optimization algorithms used in constant stiffness design were studied in Part I of this review article. This paper completes the previous article by focusing on variable stiffness design of composite laminates. Different parameterization and optimization algorithms are briefly explained and compared and the advantages and shortcomings of each algorithm are discussed.
