Abstract

This study represents weight optimization of hollow circular, rectangular and airfoil composite beam by using sub problem approximation method in ANSYS. A three dimensional static analysis of large displacement type has been carried out for hollow circular, rectangular and airfoil composite beams. Weight of beam was objective function, material parameter, geometrical, ply thickness, ply angles and load. In order to validate the results, one loop of simulation is benchmarked from results in literature. Ultimately, best set of optimized design variable is proposed to reduce weight under static loading condition.
