Composite Laminate Weight Optimization on the Sharp PC-1500 Pocket Computer.

Abstract

An automated composite laminate sizing technique is presented, which optimizes for minimum weight. The technique can be coded for a microcomputer and a listing is given for the Sharp PC-1500. The program is interactive and easy to use. Ply ratios are optimized for point stress under multiple independent loads. (Author)
