A technique for optimally designing fibre-reinforced laminated plates with manufacturing uncertainties for maximum buckling strength

Walker, Mark; Hamilton, Ryan Jason (Taylor & Francishttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03052150412331298371, 2005)

This article describes a procedure to design symmetrically laminated plates for maximum buckling load with manufacturing uncertainty in the ply angle, which is the design variable. It is assumed that the probability of any ...
A technique for stiffness improvement by optimization of fiber steering in composite plates

Tabakov, Pavel Y.; Walker, Mark (Springerhttp://www.springerlink.com/content/h813074n588177w1/fulltext.pdf, 2010)

A methodology for stiffness improvement by optimal orientation of fibers placed using fiber steering techniques of composite plates has been developed and is described here. A genetic algorithm is employed to determine the ...
A technique for the multiobjective optimisation of laminated composite structures using genetic algorithms and finite element analysis

Walker, Mark; Smith, Ryan E. (Elsevierhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0263-8223(03)00098-9, 2003)

A methodology for using genetic algorithms with the finite element method to minimise a weighted sum of the mass and deflection of fibre reinforced structures with several design variables is described. The design constraint ...
