Determining the Optimal Orientation of Orthotropic Material for Maximizing Frequency Bandgaps

As the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) increases in aerospace struc- tures it is important to use this material in an efficient manner such that both the weight and cost of the structure are minimized while maintaining its performance. To com- bat undesirable vibrational characteristi...
