Sensitivity Analysis and Multi-Objective Optimization Strategy of the Curing Profile for Autoclave Processed Thick Composite Laminates

Abstract: To mitigate the risk of manufacturing defects and improve the efficiency of the autoclave-processed thick composite component curing process, parameter sensitivity analysis and optimization of the curing profile were conducted using a finite element model, Sobol sensitivity analysis, and the multi-objective optimization method. The FE model based on the heat transfer and cure kinetics modules was developed by the user subroutine in ABAQUS and validated by experimental data. The effects of thickness, stacking s… Show more

“…This paper applies the Sobol method to conduct a detailed global sensitivity analysis (GSA), aiming to quantify the individual effects of each factor and their interactions with other factors on the variation in the mold surface temperature during the autoclave processing. In this method, the variance-based sensitivity indices provide a scalar measure of relative influence based on conditional variance, which is widely recommended by researchers [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] for effectively characterizing single- and multi-parameter interactive sensitivities in non-linear and non-additive models, and the relatively straight forward interpretation of the sensitivity indices. There are five factors considered in this analysis including CHTC, TCL, TMF, MMT, and TAL used in the autoclave processing.…”

“…The combination of traditional manufacturing methods for polymers and composites with additive manufacturing has revolutionised the production landscape. Traditional manufacturing processes such as hand lay-up, vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding, injection moulding, autoclave, extrusion, and compression moulding have long been employed for large-scale fabrication of polymers and composites parts [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. These methods offer high production rates, precise control over material properties, and cost-effective solutions.…”
