Multidisciplinary Optimization of Composite Laminates with Resin Transfer Molding Chung-Hae PARK

Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) Introduction (I) Low pressure, low temperature Low tooling cost Large & complex shapes Heating Resin Injection Preforming Mold Filling & Curing Releasing

Multi-Objective Optimization DESIGN & OPTIMIZATION Mechanical Performance Manufacturability Cost Light Weight Trade-Off

Problem Statement Design Objective : Minimum weight Design Constraints Structure : Maximum allowable displacement (or Failure criteria) Process : Maximum allowable mold filling time Design Variables : Stacking sequence of layers, Thickness Preassigned Conditions : Geometry, Constituent materials, # of fiber mats, Loading set, Injection gate location/pressure

Classification of Problems Design Criteria 1) Maximum allowable mold fill time & Maximum allowablw displacement (stiffness) 2) Maximum allowable mold fill time & Failure criteria (strength) * t c =500sec, d c =13mm, r c =1 # of layers 1) 7 layers (H o =7mm, V f,o =45%) 2) 8 layers (H o =8mm, V f,o =45%) Layer angle set 1) 2 angle set {0, 90} 2) 4 angle set {0, 45, 90, 135}

Weight & Thickness # of fiber mats is constant The amount of fiber is constant Thickness Weight V f Mold fill time Stiffness/Strength of the structure Remark : As V f increases, the moduli/strengths of composite may also increase. Nevertheless, the stiffness/strength of the whole structure decreases due to the thickness reduction. Find out the minimum thickness while both the structural and process requirements are satisfied !

Estimation of H p Darcys law Carman & Kozeny model : resin velocity : fluid viscosity : pressure gradient : permeability tensor k ij : Kozeny constant R f : radius of fiber : porosity Subscripts o : initial guess p : calculated value with process requirement met

Estimation of H s (I) It is difficult to extract an explicit relation due to the fiber volume fraction variation and the dimensional change. Within a small range, the relation between the thickness and the displacement is assumed to be linear. 1) With an initial guess for thickness H o, the displacement d o is calculated by finite element method. 2) Intermediate thickness H t and the corresponding displacement d t toward exact values, are obtained by another finite element calculation. 3) With (H o,d o ) and (H t,d t ), critical thickness and displacement (H s, d c ) are obtained by linear interpolation/extrapolation.

Conclusions An optimization methodology for weight minimization of composite laminated plates with structural and process criteria is suggested. Without any introduction of weighting coefficient nor scaling parameter, the thickness itself is treated as a design objective. The optimization methodology suggested in the present study shows a good computational efficiency.
