Abstract (EN):
In comparison to traditional, constant stiffness laminates, variable stiffness composite laminates (VSCL) with curvilinear fibres represent an extra analysis effort. It is the purpose of this work to present and test a relatively simple optimisation procedure, in order to find the maximum fundamental frequency of vibration in bending and in in-plane vibrations. It is also intended to explain why certain fibre paths lead to higher frequencies.
