In the traditional iterative design process for composite structures, it is difficult to achieve an optimal solution even though a great effort is made. A genetic optimization system based on grid technology offers an automatic and efficient approach for composite structure redesign and optimization. A genetic algorithm system, which integrates Genetic Algorithm Optimization (GAO) software and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based commercial package, has been developed as a tool for composite structure design and analysis. The GAO is capable of tailoring large number of composite design variables and taking the time-consuming FEA results to calculate objective function value and conduct optimization in high accuracy. By operating the system employing the Grid technology and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method, significant time saving in numerical analysis can be achieved. A user friendly interface has also been built in the system. In the paper, aeroelastic tailoring of a composite wing has been taken as a numerical example to demonstrate the optimization approach. The numerical results show that an optimal design has been achieved to meet the design requirement.

Aiming at these problems of complicated analysis, high repeated rate and resource sharing in the process of the NC machine tools design and performance analysis, a development platform is built to integrate the structure design, performance analysis, optimization of spindle and resource sharing. The platform includes digital design, 3D entity modeling and virtual assembly, finite element analysis and optimization, and dynamic simulation module. Each module can normally operate and exchange data by means of coordinating the interface between modules. The experiment shows that the developed system could effectively improve the efficiency of design and analysis of spindle, and could provide reference for the optimization design and the actual production manufacturing.

Mimicking natural structures has been highly pursued recently in composite structure design to break the bottlenecks in the mechanical properties of the traditional structures. Bone has a remarkable comprehensive performance of strength, stiffness and toughness, due to the intricate hierarchical microstructures and the sacrificial bonds within the organic components. Inspired by the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of cortical bone, a new biomimetic composite structure, with a designed progressive breakable internal construction mimicking the sacrificial bond, is proposed in this paper. Combining the bio-composite staggered plate structure with the sacrificial bond-mimicking construction, our new structure can realize tunable stiffness and superior toughness. We established the constitutive model of the representative unit cell of our new structure, and investigated its mechanical properties through theoretical analysis, as well as finite element modeling (FEM) and simulation. Two theoretical relations, respectively describing the elastic modulus decline ratio and the unit cell toughness promotion, are derived as functions of the geometrical parameters and the material parameters, and validated by simulation. We hope that this work can lay the foundation for the stiffness tunable and high toughness biomimetic composite structure design, and provide new ideas for the development of sacrificial bond-mimicking strategies in bio-inspired composite structures.

For vibration damping, coatings are prepared on surface of the structures (substrates), which constitute the coating-substrate composite structures. Elastic parameters of the coating are indispensable for the vibration and damping analysis of the composite structure. Due to the small scale of coating thickness and elastic difference compared with the substrate, the identification results are inevitably influenced by the existence of substrate. Moreover, resulting from the preparation process, elastic properties of hard coating often exhibit anisotropic properties. All the above factors bring about the difficulties of accurate identification. In this study, a method for identifying anisotropic elastic parameters of hard coatings considering substrate effect is proposed, by combining nanoindentation and finite element analysis. Based on the identification results, finite element models are established to analyze the vibration characteristics of the coating-substrate composite structure, which verify the rationality of the anisotropic elastic parameters for vibration analysis. The studies in this paper are significant to more accurately identify the mechanical parameters for establishing the dynamic model. Moreover, they lay the foundation for further optimization design of hard coating damping.

Abstract By introducing functional fillers into the ethylene propylene diene monomer matrix, the anti-ablation, thermal insulation, and adhesive layer were prepared, respectively. We have studied the mechanical properties, ablation properties, thermal insulation properties, and bonding properties of different composite structures after design and analyzed the ceramic mechanism. The results showed that the content of ceramic fillers improved the thermal stability and ablation properties of anti-ablation layer composites. The formation of liquid structure can fill the hole defects and ablation pit. The foaming agent improved thermal insulation properties of the thermal insulation layer, and the strength of the bonding layer has been greatly improved. The design of the composite structure can not only reduce the density but also have an excellent thermal insulation effect. And as the thickness of the heat insulation layer increases, the heat blocking effect becomes more excellent.

Bolted shear connectors are an important component to ensure that steel-concrete composite structures can work together. High-strength bolt shear connectors can replace traditional stud connectors because of their disassembly, good mechanical performance and fatigue resistance. It applied to steel-concrete composite structure. In order to study the influencing factors of the bearing capacity of high-strength bolted shear connectors, this paper uses ABAQUS finite element simulation software as a research tool to establish a reasonable finite element model to study the influence of bolt strength, bolt diameter and concrete strength on bolted shear connectors. Studies have shown that increasing the diameter, strength, and concrete strength of bolted connections can effectively increase the bolt’s shear capacity.
