Abstract
Lightweighting materials is a need for both energy generation and reduction of energy consumption in a range of applications. Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are excellent candidates for this, but the cost is high. This work explores the optimization of cost and weight for composite materials subject to specific load conditions.

Funding
Hat-section samples were produced using 3D printed molds created at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility of ORNL by Kunc and Love. Testing was performed at ORNL. Fibers and resin were provided by Owens Corning. Research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Advanced Manufacturing Office, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 with UT-Battelle, LLC.
