    Design of Dimensionally Stable Composites Using Efficient Global Optimization Method
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2019) Aydın, Levent; Aydın, Olgun; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Mert, Ali
    Dimensionally stable material design is an important issue for space structures such as space laser communication systems, telescopes, and satellites. Suitably designed composite materials for this purpose can meet the functional and structural requirements. In this paper, it is aimed to design the dimensionally stable laminated composites by using efficient global optimization method. For this purpose, the composite plate optimization problems have been solved for high stiffness and low coefficients of thermal and moisture expansion. Some of the results based on efficient global optimization solution have been verified by genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, and generalized pattern search solutions from the previous studies. The proposed optimization algorithm is also validated experimentally. After completing the design and optimization process, failure analysis of the optimized composites has been performed based on Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Hoffman, and Hashin-Rotem criteria.

    Buckling Optimization of Composite Laminates Using a Hybrid Algorithm Under Puck Failure Criterion Constraint
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Deveci, Hamza Arda; Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil
    In this study, an optimization procedure is proposed to find the optimum stacking sequence designs of laminated composite plates in different fiber angle domains for maximum buckling resistance. A hybrid algorithm combining genetic algorithm and trust region reflective algorithm is used in the optimization to obtain higher performance and improve the quality of solutions. As a novelty, Puck fiber and inter-fiber failure criteria are directly implemented to the optimization problems as nonlinear function constraints, which have allowed more consistent and feasible results. The performance of the hybrid algorithm is demonstrated by comparing with the individual performances of genetic and trust region reflective algorithms via test problems from the literature. Also, a study is performed to exhibit the effectiveness of the selected failure criterion as constraint among the other common criteria. The proposed procedure is used to solve many problems including various design considerations. The results indicate that reliable stacking sequence designs can be achieved in specific configurations even for the composite plates subjected to superior buckling loads when Puck physically based (3D) failure theory is considered as a first ply failure constraint in the buckling optimization.

    Comparison of Stochastic Search Optimization Algorithms for the Laminated Composites Under Mechanical and Hygrothermal Loadings
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2011) Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil
    The aim of the present study is to design the stacking sequence of the laminated composites that have low coefficient of thermal expansion and high elastic moduli. In design process, multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization of the carbon fiber laminated composite plates is verified by single objective optimization approach using three different stochastic optimization methods: genetic algorithm, generalized pattern search, and simulated annealing. However, both the multi- and single-objective approaches to laminate optimization have been used by considerably few authors. Simplified micromechanics equations, classical lamination theory, and MATLAB Symbolic Math toolbox are used to obtain the fitness functions of the optimization problems. Stress distributions of the optimized composites are presented through the thickness of the laminates subjected to mechanical, thermal, and hygral loadings.
