Optimization of graphene/fibre reinforced cantilever skew laminates for maximum fundamental frequency via non-uniform distribution of reinforcementsOptimization of graphene/fibre reinforced cantilever skew laminates for maximum fundamental frequency via non-uniform distribution of reinforcements Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2025-08-262023enThree-phase graphene/fibre-reinforced cantilever skew laminates are optimized with the design objective of maximizing the fundamental frequency. Four optimal design problems are formulated involving one, two, three, and four design variables: graphene content, fibre content, layer thicknesses, and the fibre orientations. Optimization is implemented using a Sequential Quadratic Programming optimization algorithm within finite element analysis. It is observed that optimizing the graphene and fibre contents across the thickness leads to increased fundamental frequency. A trend is observed for the frequency of skew laminates to increase but for their design efficiency to decrease compared to rectangular laminates.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Thin-Walled Structures189Jeawon_et_al_Thin-Walled Struct._189_2023.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2025-08-26application/pdf791.5 kBfree Jeawon Y.
