This course will give students an introduction to optimization of composite materials. Students will learn optimization concepts as applied to composites, formulation of composite materials design as optimization problems and work on several hands-on exercises. Students will learn how to interpret and use the optimization results. During the class, students will be exposed to industrial applications and examples.
A basic knowledge of finite element analysis and composite materials
Sizing optimization of composites
Optimization of SMC shell thickness
Optimization of Woven glass fabric thickness
Laminate design with thickness and angle optimization
Shape optimization of composites
Comparison of composites design with steel designs
The instructor will present teaching material and solve examples
Hands-on exercises will be solved by the students assisted by instructor
