A simple approach to structural frequency optimization
Yi Min Xie,Grant P. Steven +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple solution strategy to find the shape and topology of a general structure that maximize or minimize the natural frequency is presented, where a small part of the material is removed from the structure at the end of each finite element analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micromechanics models for mechanical and thermomechanical properties of 3D through-the-thickness angle interlock woven composites
TL;DR: In this article, a laminate block modeling approach for 3D through-the-thickness angle interlock woven composites is used to develop one finite element analysis (FEA) model and two analytical models, namely the ZXY model and the ZYX model.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evolutionary method for optimization of plate buckling resistance
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of finding the optimum thickness distribution of isotropic plate structures, with a given volume and layout, that would maximise the buckling load is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Configurational optimization of multi-cell topologies for multiple oblique loads
TL;DR: In this article, an integer coded genetic algorithm (ICGA) is introduced to optimize topological distribution of multi-celled web members for single/multiple oblique impacting conditions, where material distribution in a form of allocating web wall thickness, starting from zero, is considered as design variables and maximization of energy absorption (EA) as the design objective under the predefined peak crushing force and structural mass constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Approaches for 3D Orthogonal Woven Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a unit cell model and a laminate model are presented for predicting engineering elastic constants of 3D orthogonal woven composites, and one finite element analyzes the model.
