Abstract:
This paper presents a draping optimisation scheme based on the integration of a
commercial kinematic drape simulation code and a genetic algorithm. The
kinematic model allows a fast solution to the drape model which reproduces
successfully the distribution of shear over the component surface, while a
genetic algorithm drives the optimisation. Various setups of the problem are
considered, including single and multiple objective solutions. The efficiency of
the methodology is evaluated based on the results of the scheme applied to the
draping of a composite pilot helmet.
