    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.45, No.2, pp. 179-206, 2009, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2009.045.179

    Abstract A sandwich panel's optimum core height and composite face thickness, under defined loading, have been computed in order to reach the structure's lowest weight and highest stiffness. The Tsai-Hill criterion was used in order to control the support of transverse loading by the panel. Regarding the relationships in the sandwich materials, the studied material was modeled with the MATLAB package. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) that is based on statistics was used. Our goal was to obtain the best methods of the GA in order to present an optimization method for the sandwich structure. Hence, a More >
