Descripció:

Topology optimisation has become a key tool for the design of lightweight and high-performance structures. In the case of composite materials, the presence of anisotropy introduces additional complexity, but also new opportunities to tailor stiffness and strength to the applied loads. This TFE focuses on the numerical topology optimisation of load-adapted anisotropic composite structures using advanced finite-element-based tools. The project will investigate and apply geometrical optimisation techniques, with particular emphasis on the use of LS-DYNA capabilities for composite structures. The optimised designs will be assessed in terms of structural performance under realistic loading conditions, and numerical results may be complemented by reference experimental or mechanical test data available in the literature. The work combines theoretical foundations with practical implementation and analysis.

Objectius:

• Understand the principles of topology optimisation applied to composite and anisotropic materials. • Study load-adapted design strategies for composite structures. • Apply numerical optimisation tools to improve structural efficiency and load-bearing capacity. • Evaluate structural performance through numerical simulations and comparison with mechanical tests or reference data.

Tasques a realitzar / Característiques:

• Literature review on topology optimisation and anisotropic composite materials. • Familiarisation with LS-DYNA tools for geometrical and structural optimisation. • Definition of representative load cases and material models for anisotropic composites. • Numerical optimisation of composite structures and analysis of the resulting designs. • Assessment of structural performance and discussion of results. • Preparation of the final report and oral presentation.
