Reliability-Based Optimization of the Stacking Sequence Layup in Post-Buckled Composite Stiffened Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a methodology to carry out Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) in composite stiffened panels. The target is to maximize the reaction force that the panel can withstand before collapse, setting the shortening of failure as the probabilistic constraint. The design variables are the stacking sequence orientations of the composite plies while the random parameters are the elastic properties of the material. In order to predict the collapse load properly, post-buckling and progressive failure analyses are considered within the FE solver employed.
