Thickness optimisation of a bi-stratum structure

摘要

This paper deals with the thickness optimisation of layers of a bi-stratum composite structure having infinite lateral dimensions. The composite is considered as a one-dimensional structure. Using a direct integration of the behaviour equation an analytical solution can be obtained without expensive calculation time. This approach is based on the techniques which are applied to acoustic analysis of multi-layer structures and can be extended to calculate a general composite laminate structure. The advantage of such a method is a short calculation time.
