Abstract:
      The work aims to obtain a lightweight composite aircraft wing through optimizing the design of layer thickness and laying sequence of composites. With a light aircraft composite wing as the research object, CATIA software was used to build a composite wing structure model, and ANSYS finite element software was used to load constraints with mechanical properties as output variables to perform a sensitivity analysis on important parts of the wing. Then, with the maximum displacement deformation, stress limit and strain limit as response variables, and the minimum structural mass of the wing as the optimization objective, the laminate optimization design of the composite wing was carried out based on the response surface method. The research showed that layer thickness had a more significant effect on composite wing performance than layer sequence, and the skin thickness had the greatest impact on the mechanical properties of the wing. The weight of the alloy wing after optimization was reduced by 16%. Combining this optimization method with finite element analysis, the accuracy and reliability of the calculation results are high, which provides a reference for the optimization design of composites in aeronautical structures.
