OPTIMIZATION OF DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR A FIBER-WOUND PRESSURE VESSEL WITH A STABLE STRENGTH RATIO BASED ON THE HYBRID METHOD OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND GREY WOLF OPTIMIZATION

This study is aimed at optimizing the design parameters (winding angle, fiber volume fraction, elasticity modulus of fibers, and radius-thickness ratio) of the fiber-wound pressure vessel for achieving a stable strength ratio based on a hybrid method of Particle Swarm Optimization and Grey Wolf Optimization (HPSOGWO). A three-dimensional linear elasticity theory is used to solve the problem numerically.
