Optimal stacking sequence design of stiffened composite panels with cutouts

The growing use of high performance composite materials has stimulated interest in the development of optimization procedures for the design of laminates. The design of composite structures against buckling presents two major challenges to the structural analyst and designer. First, the problem of l...
