Analysis and Design of Variable Stiffness Composite Cylinders
… cylindrical shells through the use of the variable stiffness concept is presented. The variable stiffness concept implies that the stiffness parameters change spatially throughout the structure. This situation is achieved mainly through the use of curvilinear fibers within a …

Design of Variable Stiffness Composite Panels for Maximum Strength
… of this research is to explore the design of variable stiffness composites and develop an automated framework to model, analyze and optimize these structures. Variable stiffness composites have been shown to exhibit increased strength and stiffness over traditional constant stiffness …

Finite Element Modeling of Tow-Placed Variable-Stiffness Composite Laminates
… 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 can also result in …

Finite element modelling and analysis of composite flywheel disk including effects of filament-winding mosaic pattern
A filament-wound spinning composite disk is characterised by the mosaic-patterned configuration of the layers produced during a filament-winding process. In this structure, each helically wound layer consists of curved triangular-shaped units alternating in the radial and circumferential …
