Abstract


Abstract: The paper presents a comparative analysis of four stiffening models by ribbing for a sofa side made of composite materials based on vegetable fibers. The purpose of the paper is to provide the date for optimizing the amount of material used for the resistance structure of a sofa side. For each model, simulations were made for different wall thicknesses, and the results were used to obtain polynomial regression functions.
Key words: Comparative analysis, rib, sofa side, composite material
