Optimal design of geodesically stiffened composite cylindrical shells
An optimization system based on the finite element code CSM Testbed and the optimization program ADS is described. The optimization system can be used to obtain minimum-weight designs of composite stiffened structures. Ply thicknesses, ply orientations, and stiffener heights can be used as design va...
