Title:
A New Strategy for Combined Topology and Fiber Angle Optimization
The application of topology optimization as well as laminated composites intensifies over the past years in
various fields. A new strategy, called the Adaptive Angle Set Method (AASM), is proposed to optimize both
the topology as well as the fiber angles for unidirectional laminate structures simultaneously. AASM relies on
solving a sequence of multi-material-like problems, where for each subproblem three candidate materials
represent three different fiber orientations for every element. In this way a relatively small amount of design
variables is required, while obtaining high angle resolutions with a directly known laminate configuration.
The performance of AASM was investigated and examined on several test problems and showed promising
results.
The presentation will be given in English.
