A general multi-scale optimisation strategy for the optimisation of variable stiffness composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper focuses on the development of a multiscale optimisation strategy for the optimisation of variable angle stiffness laminates. The main goal consists in proving that it is possible to design structures having complex shapes made of variable stiffness composites by taking into account, from the early stages of the design process, the constraints linked to the manufacturing process.

Need for Optimisation of Immunisation Strategies Targeting Invasive Meningococcal Disease in the Netherlands
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a severe bacterial infectious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide. In recent years, industrialised countries have implemented vaccines targeting IMD in their National Immunisation Programmes (NIPs). In 2002, the Netherlands successfully implemented a single dose of meningococcal serogroup C conjugate vaccine at the age of 14 months a...
متن کاملA reliability-based maintenance technicians’ workloads optimisation model with stochastic consideration
The growing interest in technicians’ workloads research is probably associated with the recent surge in competition. This was prompted by unprecedented technological development that triggers changes in customer tastes and preferences for industrial goods. In a quest for business improvement, this worldwide intense competition in industries has stimulated theories and practical frameworks that ...
متن کاملOptimisation of Healthcare Contracts: Tensions Between Standardisation and Innovation; Comment on “Competition in Healthcare: Good, Bad or Ugly?”
An important determinant of health system performance is contracting. Providers often respond to financial incentives, despite the ethical underpinnings of medicine, and payers can craft contracts to influence performance. Yet contracting is highly imperfect in both single-payer and multi-payer health systems. Arguably, in a competitive, multi-payer environment, contractual innovation may occur...
متن کاملOptimization of Laminated Composites by Using Genetic Algorithm and the Polar Description of Plane Anisotropy
The object of the present work is the development and application of a quite general approach to optimal design of composite laminates where elastic symmetries can also be explicitly expressed as criteria of the optimisation process. Our formulation is in the form of a highly non linear and non convex singleor multi-objective optimisation problem subject to equality and inequality constraints. ...

Emergency departments (EDs) have been becoming increasingly congested due to the combined impacts of growing demand, access block and increased clinical capability of the EDs. This congestion has known to have adverse impacts on the performance of the healthcare services. Attempts to overcome with this challenge have focussed largely on the demand management and the application of system wide p...
