Abstract
This study represents simulation of hollow circular composite beam by using Monte Carlo method. A three dimensional static analysis of large displacement type has been carried out. Finite element analysis of hollow circular composite structure has been carried out and uncertainty in maximum deflection is analyzed. Maximum deflection was objective function. Beam length, beam radius, elastic modulus, shear modulus and poisson ratio of epoxy graphite in XY, YZ, XZ, ply angles of hollow circular section and force are randomly varied within effective range and their effect on Maximum Deflection has been analyzed. In order to validate the results, one loop of simulation is benchmarked from results in literature. Ultimately, best set of probabilistic design variable is proposed to reduce maximum deflection under static loading condition. Composite materials have found increasing use in aerospace and civil engineering construction. One of the common areas of application is panels and hollow circulars construction where composite materials with complex lay-ups are used. The hollow composite properties can be improved when composite materials are used.
