Resumo(s)
This article is devoted to the study of the optimal design of fibers orientation in a composite specimen with the objective to minimize the displacement. The composite specimen considered is within the scope of aerospace and mechanical applications. The objective function associated with the composite design is computed based on a static analysis of a finite element solid model, which allows one to define (or control)
the fibers orientation. The recent global and local optimization using direct search methods (GLODS) is used for the optimization process. To validate and compare the numerical and optimized results, the specimens were manufactured and tested experimentally. The orientation of the layers that minimize the maximum displacement is achieved through the computational interaction of the optimization program, GLODS, in
loop with the finite element program, ANSYS. It is shown that the optimized lamination schemes found by GLODS minimized about 60% of the displacement compared to the nonoptimized specimens.
