An Integrated Systematic Approach to Linerless Composite Tank Development
The paper describes a program currently underway at Composite Technology Development, Inc. to dramatically improve the design and capabilities of lightweight linerless composite tanks. The program integrates material development and characterization, micromechanics-based analyses of composite materials and structural design and fabrication of prototype tanks. This integrated systematic approach...
متن کاملA structural approach for smoothing noisy peak-shaped analytical signals
This work describes an approach for smoothing noisy peak-shaped analytical data based on the identification of the structural form of the signal. The data series was described first as a succession of ‘peak structures’ and then as a succession of ‘meta-peak structures’. This description enabled convenient identification of the characteristic peaks arising from an analytical measurement and thei...
متن کاملGENERALIZED FLEXIBILITY-BASED MODEL UPDATING APPROACH VIA DEMOCRATIC PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE PROGNOSIS
This paper presents a new model updating approach for structural damage localization and quantification. Based on the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), a new damage-sensitive cost function is introduced by employing the main diagonal and anti-diagonal members of the calculated Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM) for the monitored structure and its analytical model. Then, ...
متن کاملOPTIMIZATION FORMULATION FOR NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
In this paper, the effect of angle between predictor and corrector surfaces on the structural analysis is investigated. Two objective functions are formulated based on this angle and also the load factor. Optimizing these functions, and using the structural equilibrium path’s geometry, lead to two new constraints for the nonlinear solver. Besides, one more formula is achieved, which was p...
متن کاملHigh-fidelity Structural Optimization of a Tow-Steered Composite Wing
1. Abstract Composite materials are now making their way into the primary structures of large transport aircraft and have contributed to more efficient airframes. However, the composites used so far consist in conventional plies with fixed angles. The introduction of the capability to manufacture tow-steered composites opens the door to more efficient airframes by enabling more tailored structu...
