Abstract
In the present paper the structural optimization approach Discrete Material Optimization (DMO) is introduced and applied to stiffness maximization of locally reinforced sandwich structures. The aim of the optimization is for each element to choose the material from the set of candidate materials that minimizes the objective the most. A design study of a sandwich panel in three-point bending shows that the DMO method is successful in providing valuable clues to efficient design of such structures.
