Maximization of the Fundamental Frequencies of Laminated Curved Panels Against Fiber Orientation

The fundamental frequencies of e ber-reinforced laminated curved panels with a given material system are maximized with respect to e ber orientation by using a sequential linear programming method with a simple move-limit strategy. The signie cant ine uences of panel thickness, curvature, aspect ratio, cutouts, and end conditions on the maximum fundamental frequencies and the associated optimal e ber orientations are demonstrated.
