  Optimization of Lightweight Polymer Composites Using Finite Element Analysis Machine Learning and Topology Optimization Techniques for Aerospace Applications

  By A. Arunkumar, Jyothhi Yarlagaddaa, I Sreevani, Boopathy G., Mohit Tiwari, Avinash Kumar, L. Ganesh Babu, T. Venkatajalapathi

  Abstract: The advancement of aerospace engineering depends on lightweight polymer matrix composites (PMCs) because they help decrease weight while improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity together with increased structural integrity. Research developed a computer program comprising FEA with ANN and TO optimize high-performance PMCs through integrated design approaches. The combination of Python-controlled LS-DYNA simulations measured hybrid composite laminate resistance to impact while an ANN model obtained data from simulations to forecast …
