Peeters, D.M.J. (author), Abdalla, M.M. (author)A method to optimise the fibre angle distribution of variable stiffness laminates is proposed. The proposed method integrates a fibre angle retrieval step with a fibre angle optimisation procedure. A multi-level approximation approach is used in combination with the method of successive approximations. First, fibre angle retrieval is done by...conference paper 2015

Cheng, L. (author), Mattei, S. (author), Fick, P.W. (author), Hulshoff, S.J. (author)A semi-continuous formulation is introduced for finding bases which minimise the error in a specific output functional of a reduced-order model. The formulation is advantageous in that it can be easily applied to nonlinear problems and functionals. A general description of the approach is given, then explicit formulations are derived for the...conference paper 2014

Van Zuijlen, A.H. (author), Bijl, H. (author)Computational fluid-structure interaction is most commonly performed using a partitioned approach. For strongly coupled problems sub-iterations are required, increasing computational time as flow and structure have to be resolved multiple times every time step. Many sub-iteration techniques exist that improve robustness and convergence, although...conference paper 2009
