TL;DR: In this article, a Pareto-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm is presented for stacking sequence optimization of composite structural parts, which is applied to the optimal design of a composite plate for weight minimization and maximization of the buckling margins under three hundred load cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the main lines of a Continuum Damage Mechanics Modelling are reviewed, for applications to brittle materials treated as elastic damageable ones, and the proposed damage models consider in the same framework the cases of initially isotropic materials like concrete and anisotropic composites.

TL;DR: In this article, a carbon fiber/epoxy matrix composite (IMS/977-2) was used for finite element structural computations, and a macroscopic model was developed to take into account the different aspects (viscoelastic behavior, thermomechanical damage, degrading resulting from physical and chemical aging) in a multiscale model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fine-grained finite element model for bearing strength prediction of mechanically fastened joints in CFRP laminates has been proposed, where delamination onset and propagation are explicitly taken into account in the model by means of cohesive elements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a macroscopic damage model is proposed to describe the nonlinear behavior observed on woven composites with ceramic matrix, which is built within a thermodynamic model.
