Mechanics of Composite Materials: Lecture 5- Optimization of Composites

#composites #mechanicsofcompositematerials #optimization

In this lecture we discuss an optimization technique based on the GRG to design optimal stacking sequences so that structures can take the load applied. Not only one can come up with approaches for Material Selection but also approaches to design new materials. There are many codes such as Hypersizer that can optimize composites, but the specific purpose is here is to use Excel as an interactive tool to learn and build an intuition of optimal composite designs.

correct me if i'm wrong but you need to double the Q66 bar.

Hello professor, what are the references used in the course?

Sir I am not able to understand about the invariance U1, U2, U3, U4 and U5 that you spoke at 44:21. I watched the previous lecture also but could not get. Sir, could you please tell what it is and at what time in your video is it told about?

Hi Prof. Goyal,
I was not able to understand the author's name at 53:13.
It would of great help if you could post the author's/book's name.
Regards,
