Dynamic design of stiffeners for a typical panel using topology optimization and finite element analysis

The design of stiffeners is an effective approach to enhance the stiffness of panel-type structures. However, the stiffness–mass efficiency depends largely on the spacing, orientation, and cross-section of the stiffeners. In order to improve the stiffness–mass efficiency, this article presents a com...
