Abstract
A topology optimisation approach that accounts for buckling resistance and manufacturability using fibre-reinforced composites is presented. This approach combines topology optimisation and fibre orientation optimisation to achieve a design with maximum buckling resistance. To ensure the optimal designs can be manufactured using 3D printing, constraints based on the continuity of fibre orientation and fibre path generation are applied. A compressed column, a stubby cantilever and an MBB beam are designed to demonstrate the response of the topology and fibre orientation when accounting for buckling resistance, as well as the compromise due to the inclusion of manufacturing constraints. The results show that the presented approach successfully guarantees manufacturability with a significant increase in buckling resistance.
