Genetic algorithms for optimal layup in a composite laminate
Abstract
A Genetic Algorithm approach to structural optimization in the stacking sequence operation has been developed and the goal is to determine fibre orientation for maximum buckling load. For both square and rectangular laminataed composite layered plates, the optimum fiber orientations for maximum load under uniaxial compression, biaxial compression and shear loading are obtained for combinations of same material as well as for different materials.
