PhD Thesis:

Optimized Design of Composite Parts by RTM

Finding an efficient design for a composite structure can be achieved not only by sizing the cross-sectional area, but also by tailoring of material properties through selective choice of stacking sequence. The increased number of design variables is both blessing and a curse for the designer. The challenge for composite designers is extended by incorporating the manufacturing considerations into the design process. This is an area in which previous design work is lacking, but is now gaining momentum. The specific goal of this research is to develop an optimized design, analysis and manufacturing process for composite materials, using the Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) process as a technology demonstrator. It is believed that the most promising direction would be to use a combination of optimization schemes in order to solve such a diverse problem. The resulting tool from this research should be one that will be useful for both researchers and industry.
