Abstract

In the fiber metal laminated shell with determination the proper fiber angle orientation is achieved the arrangement with maximum performance. For this purpose in this study the fiber angle orientation of composite layers of the fiber metal laminate circular cylindrical shells are changed frequently and each cases being subjected to lateral load and the tension of all composite layers are calculated for all cases. Then the fiber angle orientation that cause to maximum stiffness based on maximum tension fracture criterion is selected. For this purpose an analytical program linked to the numerical program is used and calculated result. The buckling analysis is applied to determine the performance of design process. The results of buckling analyses show that determination of the optimum fiber angle orientation causes to improvement of the fiber metal laminated shell stability. Comparing the effect of variation of the fiber angle orientation, variation of the metal layer properties and variation of the thickness shell on the buckling load is the another innovation of this study and it is determined that for various amount of metal volume fraction with change in which item the maximum stability is achived.in order to improve the result accuracy high order shear deformation theory is utilized for buckling analysis.
