A parametric divergence-free vector field method for the optimization of composite structures with curvilinear fibers

Ye Tian et al.

Summary: By utilizing a parametric divergence-free vector field, the spatially varying fiber angles in composite structures can be accurately described and optimized to improve performance without fiber crossing. This method allows continuous curvilinear fibers to be implemented effectively for enhanced structural design.

Buckling performance of curvilinearly grid-stiffened tow-placed composite panels considering manufacturing constraints

Ahmad Alhajahmad et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the buckling performance of variable-stiffness composite panels with curvilinear stiffeners fabricated by tow-placement machines. A Python-Abaqus script is developed for buckling analysis. The study shows that the buckling resistance of the grid-stiffened quasi-isotropic skins can be significantly improved by using curvilinear stiffeners, especially when tailoring both the skin and stiffeners concurrently with curvilinear fibers. Manufacturing constraints regarding maximum curvature along fiber and stiffener paths are imposed for manufacturability, with negative effects on buckling load improvement for designs without considering these constraints.

Concurrent stringer topology and skin steered fiber pattern optimization for grid stiffened composite shell structures

Mohit Talele et al.

Summary: This paper presents a methodology for optimizing composite plate behavior in aerospace applications by concurrently optimizing stringers topology and fiber pattern in grid stiffened tow steered composite structures. The study shows that the Lagrange multiplier approach effectively couples stiffener and plate models, allowing for independent meshes of stringers and skin. The results demonstrate that steering does improve the behavior of stiffened plates.
