The geometry and layup for different components can be selected avoiding failure in any of the expected failure modes while maintaining competitive weight and cost. Cost and weight trades among different designs are performed to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of different concepts and to show how different decisions on design concept, geometry and layup affect the design outcome. Two separate loading conditions are considered in this chapter. The simplest design is that of a monolithic laminate. The design of a stiffened panel requires a good tradeoff of the load between the skin and stiffeners and the sequencing of failure modes. For the sandwich design, a constant thickness sandwich is designed first.
