The authors discuss optimum design of laminated composite sandwich plates with continuous and discrete design variables subjected to strength constraints. The strength of a sandwich plate is determined by combining the failure analysis with finite element method. In the first-level optimization, the discrete design variables are temporarily treated as continuous variables. In the second-level optimization, the optimal solution obtained in the first-level optimization is used in the branch-and-bound method for solving a discrete optimization problem to determine the final weight of the plate. A number of examples concerning the design of laminated composite foam-filled sandwich plates demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
