Discrete Optimization of Two-Dimensional Laminated Composite Plate and Shell Structures

摘要

The overall concept of this work is to describe the concepts of the use ofrnprobabilistic optimization algorithms in the conjunction with the finite element (FE)rnpackage providing the objective functions for arbitrary boundary and loadingrncinditions. Two optimization problems are discussed in details: stacking sequencernoptimization and shape optimization. The presented examples show therneffectiveness of the proposed method.
