Fiber orientation angles optimization is carried out for maximum fundamental frequency of clamped laminated composite plates using the genetic algorithm. The meshless method is utilized to calculate the fundamental frequency of clamped laminated composite plates. In the present paper, the maximum fundamental frequency is an objective function; design variables are a set of fiber orientation angles in the layers. The examples of square laminated plates are considered. The results for the optimal fiber orientation angles and the maximum fundamental frequencies of the 2-layer plates are presented.

This paper proposes an optimization procedure for maximization of the biaxial buckling load of laminated composite plates using the gradient-based interior-point optimization algorithm. The fiber orientation angle and the thickness of each lamina are considered as continuous design variables of the problem. The effect of the number of layers, fiber orientation angles, thickness and length to thickness ratios on the buckling load of the laminated composite plates under biaxial compression is investigated. The effectiveness of the optimization procedure in this study is compared with previous works.

Radial Basis

Natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates are calculated by the meshless global collocation method based on Gaussian radial basis function. The accuracy of meshless global radial basis function collocation method depends on the choice of shape parameter of radial basis function. In present paper, the shape parameter of Gaussian radial basis function is optimized using the genetic algorithm. Gaussian radial basis function with optimal shape parameter is utilized to analyze the natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates. The present results are compared with the results of available literatures which verify the accuracy of present method.
