Abstract
This paper deals with mass optimisation of composite laminates aeronautical structures. It focuses on the final stage of the process of composite structure design i.e. defining the lay-up evolution all over the panel, this being directly used for manufacturing. Strength criteria (in-plane behaviour) and stability criteria (out-of-plane behaviour) performed with appropriate industrial tools are evaluated in the multi-level optimisation presented hereafter. The methodology consists in five steps. In the first two steps, optimisation is performed with continuous variables and a homogenized material (i.e. with approached out of plane properties). In the third step, a lay-up table is selected (or built) and translated into a "continuous" material (i.e. out of plane stiffnesses expressed as continuous variables of the lay-up thickness). In the fourth step, optimisation is performed with the "continuous" material. In the last step, a genetic optimisation is used to round off at discrete ply thicknesses. This methodology provides a manufacturable result (in terms of ply continuity) that satisfies all stress and stacking sequence constraints.
