Valido, A.J. e Barradas Cardoso, J. (2016), “Design variation of thin-walled composite beam cross-section properties”, Multidiscipline Modeling in Materials and Structures, Vol. 12(3), pp. 558-576
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a design sensitivity analysis continuum formulation for the cross-section properties of thin-walled laminated composite beams. These properties are expressed as integrals based on the cross-section geometry, on the warping functions for torsion, on shear bending and shear warping, and on the individual stiffness of the laminates constituting the cross-section.
Design/methodology/approach – In order to determine its properties, the cross-section geometry is modeled by quadratic isoparametric finite elements. For design sensitivity calculations, the cross-section is modeled throughout design elements to which the element sensitivity equations correspond. Geometrically, the design elements may coincide with the laminates that constitute the cross-section.
Findings – The developed formulation is based on the concept of adjoint system, which suffers a specific adjoint warping for each of the properties depending on warping. The lamina orientation and the laminate thickness are selected as design variables.
Originality/value – The developed formulation can be applied in a unified way to open, closed or hybrid cross-sections.
