Description
Contents
Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization of Aerospace Composite Materials is a collection of ten SAE technical papers focusing on the design analysis of aerospace composite structures from the perspective of various disciplines.
The book concentrates on the following aspects:
Analytical methods for weight design of aircraft structures, including a parametric geometry model capable of generating dedicated models for both aerodynamic and structural solvers.
Methodologies for evaluating the structural performance of carbon/epoxy composite panels.
An aerodynamic design of flexible wings made of composite structures.
Thermal design and analysis of composite enclosures.
Methodologies for analyzing the acoustic performance of composite structures, including the design optimization method to evaluate the acoustic performance in terms of transmission loss (TL) of various composite panels.
The lightening effect on composites, presenting a theoretical method to compute the electrical current propagating through composite structures due to lightning strikes.
The issue of fire resistance as most polymer resins are flammable once the respective ignition temperatures are reached.
A probabilistic-based reliability analysis of the composite structures. The method is demonstrated on a graphite/epoxy composite space habitat subjected to the debris attacks.
A sustainability analysis of aircraft composite materials, including improved durability, less maintenance, and lower energy consumption.
