Keywords: stiffened panel, mathematical optimization, buckling and postbuckling behavior

This paper deals with the optimum design of reinforced panel, with the help of mathematical optimization methods. Optimal stringers position and optimal skin and stringer dimensions will be the goal of this paper. Second part is attended to the design of testing equipment for verification of the theoretical results.
