Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how the parameters governing the formation of defects impact the set of optimal solutions for a multi-objective optimization problem, where in-plane stiffness and buckling load are simultaneously maximized.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite laminate with curvilinear fiber paths is designed to maximize simultaneously its in-plane stiffness and buckling load, and a defect layer is proposed to characterize the change in properties of each layer in the composite laminates that results from the occurrence of gaps and overlaps.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of simultaneous optimization of stiffness and buckling load of a composite laminate plate with curvilinear fiber paths is formulated and solved through a surrogate-based optimization algorithm capable of finding the set of optimum Pareto solutions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of metamodeling techniques for the design optimization of composite laminates with variable stiffness is examined. And the results show that the most accurate and robust models in exploring the design space are Kriging and Radial Basis Functions.

TL;DR: Ashby et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a comprehensive overview of the role of materials and materials processing in product design, with a particular emphasis on creating both desired aesthetics and functionality, and provided a detailed profile of each material, including its physical and mechanical properties, chemical properties, common uses, how it is typically made and processed, and even its average price.
Abstract: Materials are the stuff of design. From the very beginning of human history, materials have been taken from the natural world and shaped, modified, and adapted for everything from primitive tools to modern electronics. This renowned book by noted materials engineering author Mike Ashby and Industrial designer, Kara Johnson, explores the role of materials and materials processing in product design, with a particular emphasis on creating both desired aesthetics and functionality. The new edition will feature even more of the highly useful "materials profiles," that give critical design, processing, performance and applications criteria for each material in question. The reader will find information ranging from the generic and commercial names of each material, its physical and mechanical properties, its chemical properties, its common uses, how it is typically made and processed, and even its average price. And with improved photographs and drawings, the reader will be taken even more closely to the way real design is done by real designers, selecting the optimum materials for a successful product. * The best guide ever published on the on the role of materials, past and present, in product development, by noted materials authority Mike Ashby and professional designer Kara Johnson--now with even better photos and drawings on the Design Process * Significant new section on the use of re-cycled materials in products, and the importance of sustainable design for manufactured goods and services * Enhanced materials profiles, with addition of new materials types like nanomaterials, advanced plastics and bio-based materials
