Stacking sequence optimisation of an aircraft wing skin (2023)
Journal Article
Ntourmas, G., Glock, F., Deinert, S., Daoud, F., Schuhmacher, G., Chronopoulos, D., …Ninić, J. (2023). Stacking sequence optimisation of an aircraft wing skin. Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 66(2), Article 31. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00158-022-03483-8

This paper demonstrates a stacking sequence optimisation process of a composite aircraft wing skin. A two-stage approach is employed to satisfy all sizing requirements of this industrial sized, medium altitude, long endurance drone. In the first stag...

Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulations of the stacking sequence and blending optimisation of composite structures (2021)
Journal Article
Ntourmas, G., Glock, F., Daoud, F., Schuhmacher, G., Chronopoulos, D., & Özcan, E. (2021). Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulations of the stacking sequence and blending optimisation of composite structures. Composite Structures, 264, 113660. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.113660

This manuscript proposes two novel formulations for the manufacturable stacking sequence retrieval of laminated composite structures. Detailed sizing of composite structures is commonly tackled by a two-stage optimisation approach, the first stage be...
