Abstract: The structure strength of an underwater vehicle in the hoisting condition was analyzed using the composite analysis module ANSYS composite Prep/Post. The structure failure modes of the underwater vehicle were compared by the two different failure criteria, i.e., Hill-Tsai strength theory and Tsai-Wu strength theory. Parametric setting was applied in layer number of carbon fiber woven material at the different areas of the underwater vehicle structure. The optimal design scheme was gained from the calculation samples arranged by design of experiment effectively. This method which combines composite structure FEM and design of experiment provides valuable reference for the direct optimization for composite engineering structures.

Key words: underwater vehicle, composite material, structure design, finite element model, design of experiment
