Absztrakt

In this paper, swarm intelligence optimisation algorithms are used to estimate the optimal size of the glass fibre of circular cross section of a glass-epoxy composite. Finding the best fibre size in a composite material has significant benefits on cost reduction. A comparative study was done to select optimal fibre diameter that can satisfy the optimal longitudinal tensile strength. Particle swarm optimisation algorithm PSO and artificial bee colony algorithm ABC are proposed for this comparative study.
