Design Optimization and Non-Linear Buckling Analysis of Spherical Composite Submersible Pressure Hull

This paper describes an optimization study of a spherical composite submersible pressure hull employing a genetic algorithm (GA) in ANSYS. A total of five lay-up arrangements were optimized for three unidirectional composites carbon/epoxy, glass/epoxy, and boron/epoxy. The minimization of the buoyan...
