Tóm tắt

Laminated composite plates are widely used in lightweight structures owing to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio and flexible design capability. However, uncertainties in loads, material properties, and design parameters may significantly affect their mechanical performance and are often not fully addressed in deterministic optimization. This study presents a reliability-based multi-objective optimization framework for the bending design of laminated composite plates under uncertainty. The structural response is evaluated using Isogeometric Analysis combined with the First-order Shear Deformation Theory, allowing geometry and transverse shear deformation to be represented in a unified numerical model. Ply thicknesses are design variables, while maximum transverse deflection and structural mass are minimized as conflicting objectives. The First-order Reliability Method is used to evaluate the reliability index, and the Generalized Differential Evolution 3 algorithm is used to obtain Pareto-optimal solutions. Numerical results show that uncertainties affect the feasible design region and the trade-off between mass, deflection, and reliability. The framework supports reliability-informed design of lightweight composite plate structures.
