A generalized discrete fiber angle optimization method for composite structures: bipartite interpolation optimization. (English) Zbl 1537.74301

Summary: This paper proposes a novel fiber angle optimization method for composite, termed bipartite interpolation optimization (BIO), to address high-dimensional design variables and inefficient fiber orientation optimization. The weighting functions of BIO are constructed with the help of multiphase material topology optimization approach. Various permutations and combinations of \(n\) design variables are utilized to represent \(2^n\) discrete candidate angles. Since the weighting functions of the way automatically satisfy the sum constraint, it is unnecessary to address the sum constraints during the optimization process. Compared with the traditional discrete material optimization strategy and solid isotropic material with penalization scheme, the BIO method reduces the dimension of the mathematical model for optimizing fiber angles. Compared to the shape functions with penalization scheme, the BIO method can be extended to the optimization problem of \(2^n\) candidates. Numerical examples of different types demonstrate that the proposed method has higher solution efficiency in the optimization problem of fiber orientation selection and is suitable for three-dimensional shell optimization problems. It provides a new technical means for the structural optimization design of composite laminates.
