Optimum Design of Composite Plates under Thermal Buckling Loads using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

Abstract

Thermal buckling loads of laminated composite plates are maximized for a given total thickness. Fiber directions and relative thickness of layers are considered as design variables. Analysis of buckling temperature is carried out by using the finite element method, while the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is employed to optimize as many as seven variables for the different layered plates. The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is thus evaluated for its recognition.
