Lightweight design of variable-angle filament-wound cylinders combining Kriging-based metamodels with particle swarm optimization

Zhihua Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, variable-angle filament-wound (VAFW) cylinders were optimized for minimum mass under manufacturing constraints and various design loads using particle swarm optimization and Kriging-based metamodels. The nonlinear relationship between the tow winding angle and thickness in VAFW structures was explored using a design parameterization based on a second-order polynomial variation. A Bogner-Fox-Schmit-Castro finite element was used to accurately represent the variable stiffness properties of the shells. The analysis of the design space using metamodels revealed a gap in the buckling strength, which was confirmed through genetic algorithm optimizations. Extreme lightweight and buckling-resistant designs were achieved along with non-conventional optimum layouts thanks to the tailored thickness buildup.

A non-linear Ritz method for the analysis of low velocity impact induced dynamics in variable angle tow composite laminates

A. Milazzo et al.

Summary: This study introduces a formulation for analyzing impact-induced dynamics in VAT laminated plates, which is implemented and tested. The method utilizes first order shear deformation kinematics and von Karman non-linear strains to develop a discrete system with an impact loading model and an algorithm for solving non-linear governing equations.

Design, modeling, optimization, manufacturing and testing of variable-angle filament-wound cylinders

Jose Humberto S. Almeida et al.

Summary: This work demonstrates the potential of manufacturing variable-angle composite cylinders using filament winding. The approach allows different filament angles along the axial direction by dividing the cylinder into regions of constant angle. The VAFW design shows significantly higher buckling strength, stiffness, and absorbed energy compared to the constant-angle configuration.

Imperfection-insensitive continuous tow-sheared cylinders

R. L. Lincoln et al.

Summary: This study focuses on reducing geometric imperfection sensitivity of thin-walled cylinders in axial compression from a design perspective. By using variable angle composites to tailor load paths, the effective area for imperfection-induced buckling is reduced. Experimental results show an inverse relationship between embedded stiffener frequency and knockdown factors.

Three-dimensional effects influencing failure in bend-free, variable stiffness composite pressure vessels

Shahrzad Daghighi et al.

Summary: Pressure vessels are widely used and can be manufactured into different shapes with various materials. The design process should carefully consider the maximum allowable pressure. Bend-free pressure vessels using variable stiffness materials have advantages in load carrying capacity and weight reduction.

Continuous Tow Steering Around an Elliptical Cutout in a Composite Panel

Giovanni Zucco et al.

Summary: Cutouts in composite panels can lead to stress or strain concentrations, potentially reducing load-carrying capacity. Steering tows around cutouts using advanced techniques can alleviate such problems. Results show that a steered configuration improves buckling performance by 26% compared to straight-fiber configurations, with larger stress and strain concentrations in straight-fiber orientations under both tensile and compression loads.
