Abstract

Two variable stiffness multi-stable composite laminate structures were designed by analyzing the relationship between the theoretical model of regional fiber angle change and the stiffness change of composite structures. The variable stiffness multi-stable composite structure was modeled, and the stable configuration of the multi-stable composite structures with variable stiffness was obtained by solving different equilibrium equations with Matlab. The experimental specimens were prepared to measure the mechanical properties with different stable transformation. The cooling process were simulated by finite element software Abaqus, and the numerical results of equilibrium stable configuration were obtained. The stable configuration, the stable transformation maximum load and the load-displacement curvatures were analyzed by combining with the theoretical, numerical and experimental results.

Key words： variable stiffness multi-stable composite structure classical laminate theory finite element analysis
