[0002] Unidirectional fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used due to their large design freedom, excellent mechanical properties, and strong fatigue resistance. Compared with traditional single-phase materials, unidirectional fiber reinforced composite materials can improve structural performance without changing the structural configuration and weight through variable stiffness optimization design. The variable stiffness optimization design of unidirectional fiber reinforced composite materials is based on analyzing the structural load-bearing conditions, distributing the corresponding parts of the structure at the optimal fiber angle, so as to give full play to the performance of the fiber reinforcement.

The material parameters, component description function, objectives, constraints, and optimization environment of the control optimization group were the same as those of the variable angle component design.
