Optimization of laminated bending plates

The problems of shape, material, sizing and topology optimization are formulated and solved for thin orthotropic laminated bending plate structures subjected to the in-plane as well as out-of-plane loading. A simple laminated combined finite element that comprises known elements CST for membrane pa...
