Parallelepiped Sandwich Shell - Searching for the Optimal Geometric Parameters

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents investigations of the optimal geometric parameters for the sandwich rectangular pipe. The analyzed parallelepiped shell is loaded with uniform internal pressure. The objective function is the ratio of the shell structure mass to mass of the medium contained in the shell. The minimum of the objective function is searched. The optimization constraints are a geometric conditions relating to the dimensions of the shell, and strength requirements. The solution was obtained and the optimum geometrical parameters are presented.
