Optimization of Hybrid Laminated Composites using a Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work aims at developing a genetic algorithm (GA) to pursue the optimization of hybrid laminated composite structures. Fiber orientation (predefined ply angles), material (glass-epoxy or carbon-epoxy layer) and total number of plies are considered as design variables. The GA is chosen as an optimization tool because of its ability to deal with nonconvex, multimodal and discrete optimization problems, of which the design of laminated composites is an example. First, the developed algorithm is detailed explained and validated by comparing its results to other obtained from the literature. The results of this study show that the developed algorithm converges faster. Then, the maximum stress, TsaiWu and Puck (PFC) failure criteria are used as constraint in the optimization process and the results yielded by them are compared and discussed. It was found that each failure criterion yielded a different optimal design.

Several traditional stopping criteria in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are applied to the optimization process of a typical laminated composite plate. The results show that neither of the criteria of the type of statistical parameters, nor those of the kinds of theoretical models performs satisfactorily in determining the interruption point for the GA process. Here, considering the configuration of ...
متن کاملRelational Databases Query Optimization using Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm
Optimizing the database queries is one of hard research problems. Exhaustive search techniques like dynamic programming is suitable for queries with a few relations, but by increasing the number of relations in query, much use of memory and processing is needed, and the use of these methods is not suitable, so we have to use random and evolutionary methods. The use of evolutionary methods, beca...
