OPTIMAL DESIGN OF QUADRATIC SANDWICH PLATE

Optimal Design of Sandwich Vessel Roofs

In this study the basic engineering principles, goals and constraints are all combined to fuzzy methodology and applied to design optimally sandwich panel circular plate roofs for large vessels. These panels are made up of two stiff, strong veneer skins separated by vertical and peripheral stiffener plates. Advantages are high strength and lightweight and sustainability. In the present approach...

Optimal Design of Sandwich Panels Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

Low weight and high load capacity are remarkable advantages of sandwich panels with corrugated core, which make them more considerable by engineering structure designers. It’s important to consider the limitations such as yielding and buckling as design constraints for optimal design of these panels. In this paper, multi-objective optimization of sandwich panels with corrugated core is carried ...

Optimal Locations of Dampers/Actuators in Vibration Control of a Truss-Cored Sandwich Plate

Design of bidirectional functionally graded plate for optimal natural frequencies

An advantage of functionally graded materials (FGMs) over laminated composites is that material properties vary continuously in an FGM but are discontinuous across adjoining layers in laminated composites. Furthermore, in an FGM material, properties can be graded in all three directions which is more difficult to achieve in laminated composites. FGMs have been used for structural optimization, ...
