Abstract
Using multicriterion optimization methods for weight minimization of failure strength controlled composite structures is described. A composite lay-up design problem for minimizing the number of layers under strength constraints with respect to multiple loading conditions is formulated. The constrained problem is transferred into a sequence of unconstrained problems and solved with an interactive descent method. A typical design cycle that comprises the finite element mesh generator and solver as well as the laminate analysis and optimization modules is illustrated with a numerical example.
