DOI: 10.1016/j.compstruct.2020.113201
Abstract: Abstract Benefiting from curved fibre paths, variable-angle-tow (VAT) fibre composites feature a larger design space than traditional straight-fibre reinforced plastics. Herein, an optimisation framework of a full-scale wing-box structure with VAT-fibre composites is presented, aiming… read more here.
