摘要：

This thesis is a contribution to the design of fiber composite panels, inparticular for aerospace applications. As composite structures are increasingly used in practice, experience is also gained in manufacture, maintenance and repair. However, the preliminary design of these structures, where only the loading and general requirements on the structure are given while the actual form and layup have yet to be defined, has not received as much attention. This has prompted the research leading to this thesis. Two specific types of panels are chosen as subjects of the research: sandwich panels and corrugated panels. As part of this work two computer programs have been developed as software tools for the designer: SAPANO for sandwich panels and COPANO for corrugated panels. This thesis can be seen as the theoretical manual for the programs, while separate user's manuals are available to assist in their use.
