Buckling load of laminated composite plates using three variants of the biogeography-based optimization algorithm

This paper presents the application of the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) and some of its variants in the optimization of stacking sequence of laminated composites. Harmony search is also implemented to compare its results with those of the BBO. The optimization objective is to maximize the buckling load of a symmetric and balanced laminated plate. Four laminated composites with different loadings and dimensions are studied, and the statistical comparison of the obtained configurations and buckling load capacities shows the high capability of the BBO with quadratic migration model in terms of robustness and global search.
