Optimization of multi-sandwich-panel composite structures for minimum weight with strength and buckling considerations

A genetic algorithm-based method is proposed to globally optimize the stacking sequence of multi-sandwich-panel composite structures for minimum weight with strength and buckling considerations. The prerequisites for the continuity between sandwich panels are first studied. To implement the summariz...
