One of the major goals in the process of designing structural components is to achieve the highest possible buckling load of the structural component while keeping the cost and weight at a minimum. This paper illustrates ...

Symmetric laminated composite plates are frequently used in structural design due to their high strength to weight ratio. The stacking sequence of these laminates is known to have a major impact on the performance of these ...

The stacking sequence optimization of laminated composite plates while maximizing the structural performance or minimizing the weight is a subject investigated extensively in the literature. Meanwhile, research on the ...
