Minimum-weight design of compressively loaded stiffened panels for postbuckling response

A computationally efficient procedure, NLPANOPT, is developed for the preliminary design of minimum-weight thin-walled stiffened composite panels loaded in uniaxial compression based on a geometrically nonlinear analysis. An approximate, semi-analytical nonlinear analysis code, NLPAN, which requires...
