Publication Metadata only Multi-objective optimization of composite sandwich panels using lamination parameters and spectral Chebyshev method(Elsevier, 2022) Shahabad, Peiman Khandar; Serhat, Gökhan; Bediz, Bekir; N/A; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Seyyedrahmani, Farzad; Başdoğan, İpek; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Mechanical Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Engineering; N/A; 179940Composite materials are widely used in various industries because of their distinct properties. Hybridization is an efficient way of designing composite panels to decrease the cost and/or weight while maintaining stiffness properties. In this study, an accurate and efficient framework is developed to optimize laminated sandwich panels composed of high-stiffness face sheets and low-stiffness core. The stiffness properties of face sheets and core are represented using lamination parameters. The governing equations are derived following first-order shear deformation theory and solved using the spectral Chebyshev approach. In multi-objective optimization problems, genetic algorithm is used to determine Pareto-optimal solutions for fundamental frequency, frequency gap, buckling load, and cost metrics. In these analyses, optimal lamination parameters and thickness are found for face-sheets and core of sandwich panels, and the results are presented as 2D and 3D Pareto-optimal design points. When the individual performance metrics lead to different optimum points, a scattering behavior is observed in the 3D Pareto sets whose boundaries are defined by the 2-objective Pareto fronts. The results provide insights into the design requirements for improving the dynamic and load-carrying behavior of sandwich laminates while minimizing the cost that presents the usability of the presented approach in the multi-objective optimization.
