Abstract

Laminated composite plates have been applied to aircraft structures because their properties are superior to the conventional materials and the laminates have anisortropic elastic properties. However, it tis diffcult to determine stacking structures using actual design variables for the lack of searching capability of existing optimization technique. GA(generic algorithms) are robust search algorithms based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Therefore, this study presents an application of IGA to stiffness and weight optimization design and gives the various stacking structures suitable to constraint conditions.
