Short summary
A multi-parametric panel approach, integrated into a wind turbine blade optimization workflow, is provided. The formulation enables sandwich panels to be represented as modular assemblies with independently parameterized materials. This capability enabled the examination of Double-Double laminates as viable replacements for conventional triaxial skins in a large-scale optimization, like demonstrated for a large blade. The results show a mass reduction without changing the production process.
