In the present study, analytical expressions for critical loads are derived and eigenvalue and post buckling analyses are performed on the panels, using the finite element method, and the commercial software ABAQUS. A genetic algorithm is used for optimization of sandwich panels with periodic, open-cell cores. Yielding and buckling in components are treated as optimization constraints. Then minimum weights for some load capacities are determined. Design variables and cost function are defined as non-dimensional and optimal results are shown by diagrams.
