A parametric level set method for the optimization of composite structures with curvilinear fibers

Ye Tian et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a parametric level set method for optimizing composite structures with curvilinear fibers, using iso-contours to represent fibers. Gradient constraints are formulated to prevent gaps and overlaps during manufacturing. Optimization results demonstrate that the method can achieve optimized composite structures with evenly spaced curvilinear fibers.

Multiscale structural analysis of thick sandwich structures using parametric HFGMC micromechanics and isogeometric plate formulation based on refined zigzag theory

Aryan Kheyabani et al.

Summary: This study presents a novel multiscale modeling strategy that combines the high fidelity generalized method of cells micromechanical model and isogeometric analysis based on refined zigzag theory for thick sandwich structures. The approach eliminates the need for time-consuming experiments by defining the effective behavior of sandwich face sheets using constituent properties. The proposed method utilizes the RZT kinematics to accurately model a thick laminate or a sandwich structure as a single layer, and the IGA technique to effectively discretize the geometry of the structure.
