Analysis of Tow-Placed, Variable-Stiffness Laminates
… have spatially varying fiber orientation with a tow placement machine. A laminate which is composed of such plies will have stiffness properties which vary as a function of position. Previous work had modelled such variable-stiffness laminae by taking a reference fiber path and creating …

Finite Element Modeling of Tow-Placed Variable-Stiffness Composite Laminates
Tow-placement machines have made it possible to manufacture curved-fiber composite tow paths. A composite structure with curved-fiber tow paths can be formed in a manner similar to filament winding. The result is a laminate with spatially varying stiffness and response. This manufacturing method …

Optimal Design of Variable-Stiffness Fiber-Reinforced Composites Using Cellular Automata
The growing number of applications of composite materials in aerospace and naval structures along with advancements in manufacturing technologies demand continuous innovations in the design of composite structures. In the traditional design of composite laminates, fiber orientation angles are …
