“…A few different software packages (e.g. TexGen, WiseTex,…) are being used for this (22,(24)(25)(26)(27) Alternatively, classical laminate analysis (CLA) based methods has been reported to correlate well with experimental results (19,(28)(29)(30). However, this has been done only for very simple geometries and can only predict tensile and compressive stiffness as it neglects the weave of the structure and approximates the composite plies as layered, not interlaced.…”

Design of composite components is inherently multi-disciplinary problem; the current sequential design method is not very well suited for holistic design optimization and frequent iteration through the design space. A novel methodology for comprehensive design of a composite component is suggested in this paper. The methodology utilizes python scripting to create an interconnected system of simulations (SySi) covering geometry, aerodynamic and structural performance, and methods of manufacture. An SQL database is used to manage and trace iteration data through CAD, basic aerodynamic analysis, meshing, structural FEA, kinematic braiding simulation, and resin infusion simulation. The models are self-generated with given iterated variables, to allow for multi-simulation optimisation and fast component rework.A representative aerospace part was developed to demonstrate the suggested methodology. A small UAV braided spar was selected. It is sufficiently simple for demonstrator development, yet it retains some of the complexities of a typical composite component.All the modules were successfully automated, providing a variety of standalone benefits. A Latin hypercube sampling method proved highly successful in initial sampling of the design space. It supports troubleshooting, as it generates all allowed combinations of parameters. It was also used as input information for surrogate models because other optimisation methods proved too computationally expensive.The alternative highly automated system of simulations design process was successfully demonstrated. It was shown that iteration and optimisation through multiple simulations at once is possible, and that SQL and Python are the right tools for it. The pathways towards industrial application of the design method require further study.

“…Besides, space group theory was applied to classify 3D braided geometric structures which derived fully novel geometric structures of braided structural composites [Ma, 2006]. The multi-scale modeling approach is applied to analyze the mechanical behavior of 3D multi-layered braided composites [Kim et al, 2008]. The homogenization theory and finite element method were combined to study the mechanical properties of 3D braided composites [Feng et al, 2001;Dong et al, 2005].…”

In this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) four-step (1×1) rectangular braided composites are analyzed, the internal yarn spatial topology and mechanical model are determined, a new geometric model, which uses a cubic spline curve to fit yarn trajectory, is presented. The new geometric model can be divided into three types of unit cell models which are the interior, surface and corner unit cell. Based on the new proposed geometric model and the stiffness averaging theory, the corresponding elastic constants are predicted. The predicted numerical results are calculated, and compared with the experimental results. Numerical examples indicate that the numerical calculations well agree with the experimental results. Error values between numerical calculations and experimental results are less than 7.5%. The numerical results verify the validity and accuracy of the new geometrical model.

In this paper, the design and manufacture technology of three dimensional(3D) integrated braided composite tube with flange are researched, including: braiding technology of 3D braided preform of tube with flange, the determination of process parameters of resin transfer molding(RTM) for 3D braided composite tube with flange, and the design of mould for consolidation of composite tube with flange. The fiber volume fraction of this component is calculated. The quality of composite tube with flange is good analyzed by ultrasonic A-scan. The maximum compressive force borne by composite tube flange is 56.65 kN, which has met the need of usage of 38 kN. The research result will provide a good way for designing and manufacturing high performance 3D integrated braided composite components with irregular shape.
