Optimal design of a composite sandwich structure

This study shows the optimization method for a new complex structural model: laminated carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) deck plates with polystyrene foam (EPS) inner core. The structure is designed for both minimal cost and minimal weight, taking into consideration the design constraints as fo...
