摘要: Abstract A multi-objective analysis for unidirectional S-2 glass and T700S carbon fibre reinforced epoxy hybrid composites under flexural loading has been presented in this paper. classical lamination theory (CLT) based model was developed to predict the properties of composite laminates three-point bending. Four objective functions, namely, maximizing strength robustness minimizing weight cost were chosen. The weighted sum method (WSM) applied find optimal solution with weighting factors being calculated from analytical hierarchy process (AHP). As an illustration method, five different scenarios relative preferences examined corresponding solutions determined.
