Optimal design of ribbed-stiffened machined structures through material layout optimization

Ribbed stiffened machined structures are commonly used in the aerospace and automotive applications. This study presents a comprehensive approach to develop the lightweight configurations of such machined structures under axial loading. The optimized topologies (material layout) were studied by empl...
