The application of reliability based optimization of tophat stiffened composite panels subject to bi-directional buckling loads

Stiffened composite panels are used within many applications, from aerospace to marine applications. Stiffened panels are utilized for their high strength to weight ratio and flexibility of layups while counteracting the low stiffness exhibited by composites. Complications arise when attempting to u...
