Designing laminated composites using random search techniques
Abstract
A computer program called UWCODA is presented. UWCODA is intended to assist in the design, analysis and optimization of composite plates. UWCODA combines a state-of-the-art global optimization algorithm (Improving Hit and Run) with classical lamination theory. Optimization results are presented for simple loading conditions as well as for complex, biaxial load conditions. The computer code proved to be very effective in the design of composite plates.
