Some Smear-out Models for Integrally Stiffened Plates with Applications to Optimal Design,

Abstract

It has been recognized for some time that in many cases rib stiffness plates are more efficient then unstiffened ones. We consider a plate optimization problem where the plate thickness and the direction and concentration of two mutually orthogonal fields of integral stiffeners are used as design variables. In order to perform a structural analysis for the elastic case, a smear-out process is carried out, and the rigidity tensor for an anisotropic plate is obtained.
