Structural schemes of coverings using lightweight roof structure from modern composite materials are investigated in this paper. A comparison of two options for cable-stayed covering of a circus auditorium, one with an orthogonal mesh of cables (according to a standard design) and another one, with a mesh of cables formed by two groups of stabilizing cables are considered. The possibilities of reinforcement with composite material are analyzed. Calculation and preliminary selection of cable-stayed sections are also carried out and presented. The variations of the conditional volume with the relative sag arrows, for varying values of the coefficient qk have been investigated and shown on graphs. An optimization problem was solved and the optimal result with detailed calculations are proposed and presented in this research which enable the design of the cable-stayed coating with determination of its design characteristics. As a result, the optimum and most economical sections of the cable-stayed covering were obtained. The calculations also show the inexpediency of using a heavy roof structure for saddle cable-stayed coverings due to the exclusion of stabilizing cables from the operation with a large roof weight.

One of the significant innovative technologies is the creation of large-sized structures that work for a long time in space and meet stringent restrictions on overall mass characteristics. Among these structures, in the first place, is the section of bearing truss (BT). This article presents the results of experimental studies of sectors of load-bearing trusses of mesh design for compression. Recently, composite mesh cylindrical shells are used as spacecraft housings. The mesh shell is a supporting structure to which the instruments and mechanisms of the spacecraft are attached. The truss section is made of cross-linked polymer composite material with carbon fibers. The objective of the tests is to confirm the possibility of creating a lightweight mesh construction using a carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite material. To achieve this goal, the authors were assigned the following tasks: selection of carbon filler of polymer composite materials (PCM); selection of PCM binder; determination of the degree of carbon fiber reinforcement; choice of the number and orientation paths of spiral ribs, number of ring ribs and the sizes of individual ribs. As a result of the research, the calculated indicators for ensuring the bearing capacity and stiffness under the application of axial compressive load were obtained. At the same time, with the determination of bearing capacity, the deformation characteristics of the structure were twice determined in order to confirm their repeatability, as well as linear nature of the dependence of axial and radial deformations as a result of the applied load.

The use of composite materials has provided designers with increased opportunities for tailoring structures and materials to meet load requirements and changing and demanding environments. This has led to their increased use in structural applications. As with traditional materials the selection of an appropriate material for a design is important. In case of design using composite materials the selection of a material consists of selecting a fiber-resin combination which meets all design requirements. This involves choosing the fiber, the resin, and the proportion of these two constituents in the composite material. The phrase “material selection” refers to the problem of laminate selection. This corresponds to the task of choosing a fiber and resin combination based on technical and economic factors. Materials tailoring, on the other hand, involves manipulating the composition of the composite material to achieve desired properties and it is the selection of a fiber and resin simultaneously but separately. In this paper we present, through an example, a multiobjective optimization-based method for assisting a designer in tailoring composite materials for specific technical and economic objectives.

This paper is devoted to determination of elastic properties of composite constituents by using an inverse identification procedure. The aim of the developed identification procedure is to compute the elastic constants of individual material phases on the basis of known properties of composite materials. The inverse problem of identification has been solved by combining an evolutionary algorithm with a micromechanical model. The paper also focuses on selection of a suitable micromechanical model for optimization which should ensure a compromise between accuracy and complexity. Two different cases have been studied: composite reinforced with short cylindrical fibers and composite reinforced with cubic particles. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out to expose a difference in outcome of identification which may occur when uncertain input data is considered. Obtained results show that identification is successful only when properties of composite materials with at least two different volume fractions of the reinforcement are known.

Automotive components made from composite materials can result in significant weight savings over steel and Aluminum. The main purpose of this research is to study about the selection of suitable composite material for automobile torsion bar which possesses good strength to weight ratio and yield considerable weight savings. This paper involves identification of potential composite materials, selection of evaluation criteria, use of fuzzy theory to quantify criteria values under uncertainty and application of fuzzy Linguistics to evaluate and select the best material for replacing conventional steel material with composite material used in automobile torsion bar. The strength of the proposed paper is the ability to deal with uncertainty arising due to the lack of real data in material selection for replacing the conventional material.Keywords:- Composite material, Incomplete linguistic preference relations, AHP, Decision analysis, Consistent fuzzy preference relations, Multi-criteria decision making

Due to the intensive development of composite materials and technologies for producing parts from them, they are increasingly used in various industries, including the manufacture of products with increased requirements for the characteristics of final products (strength, stiffness, minimum weight, etc.). In this regard, the authors analyzed the possibility to optimize the layered structure of a composite material in order to give it a pronounced predictable anisotropy of properties required for the final product. Thus, the influence of the orientation of the fibers of the reinforcing material in different layers of the package and the number of layers of the package on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the hypothetical product were analyzed. The problem was solved through the example of the development of a wing for a hypothetical UAV.

The problem of the selecting the optimal lay-up stacking of polymer composite materials for the load-bearing elements of the rear part of fuselage structure is considered. The comparison of two approaches to the design of the load-bearing elements is carried out. The first of them is the use of multilayered composite material for the load-bearing elements, the stacking angles of which is selected from a given discrete set, and the second is the use of composite material with a continuous range of variables in fabric lay-up angles. As a result design optimization, it is shown that using an optimization method with a continuous range of lay-angles allows reducing the weight of the load-bearing elements by 12.79%
