Abstract
Bistable unsymmetric composite laminates having two stable equilibrium states have been widely investigated in recent years due to their ability to switch between stable states showing their potential for morphing applications. Although there are a significant number of studies on the behavior of bistable unsymmetrical laminates for various working conditions, conventional unsymmetrical laminate layup offers a limited design space limiting their use in practical applications. With the advancements in composite manufacturing technologies, it is possible to tailor the fiber orientations to a spatially varying pattern generating a large spectrum of improved composite layups. The spatially varying fiber paths significantly extend the design space by tailoring the stiffness parameters from one point to another in the laminate planform, and such laminates are known as variable stiffness (VS) laminates. Although it is possible to propose the varying fiber paths through various mathematical formulations, it may not be viable to generate the VS laminate layups having the pre-assigned angle parameters. This can be due to various practical reasons from the manufacturing constraints. Such unnoticed changes in fiber alignment may lead to inaccuracies in the bistable behavior. Hence it is important to check the tolerance limits and the sensitivity of VS parameters in detail. The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of small parametric perturbations on the various angle that define VS composite laminates. In this work, design charts exploiting the change in characteristic parameters by altering the orientation angle for selected VS laminates are prepared from the numerical analysis using finite element software, ABAQUS.
