Structural analysis and optimum design of geodesically stiffened composite panels

A simple, computationally efficient analysis approach is developed to predict the buckling of geodesically stiffened composite panels under in-plane loads. This procedure accounts for the discrete flexural contribution of each stiffener through the use of Lagrange multipliers in an energy method sol...
