8 - ISECTION 1 INTRODUCTION One of the fundamental and frequently recurring optimization problems in fiber composite structure is the design of laminates subject to various inplane loading conditions, considering strength and stiffness. It is well understood that, in laminate designs, the most important design variables are ply orientation angle, ply thickness and volume fraction of fibers. Kicher and Chao [11 has considered an optimal laminate design problem, in which the ply thickness of preassign ply angle was considered as the only design variable under the minimum weight optimization criteria. Under this criteria the volume fraction of fiber is indirectly related to the ply thickness, but ply orientation angle is completely independent in the design and causes a serious difficulty in laminate optimization design. A new approach in the design of laminates was proposed in this report, which utilizes a first ply failure (FPF) criteria as the objective function in the design. Under the FPF criteria, the ply orientation angle is a very sensitive design variable and the optimal laminate designed has the most strength in the sense of first ply failure criteria. The design of various simple symmetric laminates (see Figure 2 for the descriptions of laminates A-F) of the composite material T300/5208 was carried out under the FPF criteria. The fraction of fiber content is constant and each ply has equal thickness throughout the laminate.

9 The design angles * of the laminate A-F are obtained under various loading conditions (N 1, N 2, N 6 ) and are presented in Figures In addition, the modulus, compliance and engineering constants of the laminate A-F are tabulated in terms of the ply design angle 0 and are presented in Figures It is interesting to compare the optimal design angle 0 with the corresponding modulus, compliance and engineering constants for these laminates. It is also noted that the FPF optimal criteria can be applied to the design of more general laminates but this requires very sophisticated computer optimization techniques. 2

10 SECTION II INPLANE STIFFNESS The composite laminates, having a symmetry of stacking sequence about the midplane surface, behave as a homogeneous anisotropic plate. The effective modulus of the composite laminates is simply the arithmetic average of the modulus of the constituent plies. The main stress strain relations for a composite laminate are, for modulus N 1 =A11c + A 1 2 c 2 + Al 6 C 6 N 2 =A21E: + A22e2 + A 2 6 e 6 (1) and for compliance N 6 = Arjej + A 62 c 2 + A 66-6 e = aj 1 N 1 + a 1 2 N 2 + a 16 N 6 2 = a2zni + a 2 2 N 2 + a 26 N 6 (2) C 6 = a 61 N 1 + a 6 2 N 2 + a 6 N 6 where N 1, N 2 and N 6 are stress resultants over the thickness h of the laminate and are defined by N i = a, dz, (i =1, 2, 6) (3) -h/2 and e. (i = 1, 2, 6) are inplane strain components, constant through the thickness. The modulus components Aij are given in the following table: 3

11 *1o Table 1 Modulus Components, Ai 1U 2 U 3 F1/ U A 22 /h U / 5 2 A 16 /h3 A 26 /h34 4 In which U.i (i=l, 2,...,5) are invariances given in Equation (3.15) of Tsai and Hahn 12] and V*h/ (cos2e. cos4e, sin2e, sin4e)dz (4) (1, 2, 3, 4) h I - h/2 The engineering constants for the laminate are defined as follows: P El= 1 /ha 1 0 E:' = I1/ha 66 (5) V21 = 21a1 The equation of approximate first ply failure surface (strain envelop) is given by =

12 (see Equation (7.102) of Tsai and Hahn [2]. Let us set Q = 1 + e + E:, (6) then FPF optimal criteria is to minimize the value of Q. The objective function Q has another meaning, mainly the value YFr is the norm or length of the strain vector (c 1,, E /,-). Hence, the FPF criteria S2 6 minimizing the value of Q is the equivalent to minimizing the norm of strain vector (E, E / -). The laminates that we have considered to design in this report are so simple that Q is a function of the design angle only for given loading conditions (N 1, N 2, N 6 ). 5

13 SECTION III CONTINUOUS LAMINATE It is interesting to consider a symmetric laminate whose ply orientation angle increases uniformly. We call this laminate a continuous laminate. If the ply orientation angle sweeps between -4 and, then is called the sweeping angle of a continuous laminate. The relation between laminate depth Z and ply angle e is given by (See Figure 1), Z h + 1 < e < (7) Note that a continuous laminate with one complete revolution of plies has the sweepina angle 0 = 900. The modulus and compliance of the continuous laminate for 00 < 0 < 900 are given in Figure 8 and 14. In FPF optimal design of the continuous laminate, the sweeping angle p is the only design variable for given loading conditions (N 1, N 2, N 6 ). 6

14 SECTION IV DESIGN OF LAMINATES In addition to the continuous laminate, various laminates such as angle ply laminate and angle ply laminate with additional plies of 0, 90, -45 or 45 degree orientations were considered for FPF optimal design. For simplicity, these laminates are named Laminate A, B... F, which are specified in Figure 2. The composite material that is used is T300/5208 and its invariants values (in GPa) are; I 1 = U2 = U 3 = = = Table 2 gives the expression of V* (i = 1, 2, 3, 4), where V* = V /h, for the Laminate A-F in terms of design angle It is clearly seen from Equation (1), (2) and (6) and Tables and 2 that Q =c + e2 +-f6 is a function of 0 and (Nj, N 2, N 6 ), and hence Q depends only on 4 if (Nj, N 2, N 6 ) are known values. Therefore under a given stress loading (Nj, N 2, N 6 ) the optimization problem is to find the value * so that Q = Q(4*) is the minimum among all values of Q = Q( ) for 0 < 4 <900. The stresses N 1, N 2, N 6 are normalized by the largest value so that 0 < N. < 1, i = 1, 2, 6. Accordingly, the laminate thickness h is set to be 1. The results of optimal design angle for Imainates A-F were presented in Figures The cases that N 1 = 1 and N 6 = 1 are considered for each Iminate. The case that N 2 = 1 is identical with that of N 1 = 1 if the laminate is rotated by 90 degrees. ) 7 Wil 11. I

The smaller the Q value the stronger the laminate When we apply our results of design angle 4) in actual laminate design, the thickness of laminate h should be adjusted to meet the original values of stress conditions (N 1, N 2, N 6). The computations were carried out by the computer CDC 660 at W right- Patterson Air Force Base. 8

16 *SECTION V CONCLUSIONS The first ply failure criteria is proposed in the composite laminate design. It is found that design angle * is very sensitive under this criteria and the results of design angle can be directly useful to laminate designers. Among the laminate A-F, laminate F performs overall the best in FPF criteria, and then followed by laminate B under maximum longitudinal stress and laminate E under maximum shear stress. $9
