In this study, a surrogate assisted hybrid aggressive space mapping method is suggested to optimize buckling loads of cylinder variable stiffness composites made by fiber steering. Compared with other popular space mapping algorithms, both of surrogate and coarse FE model are integrated to obtain the coarse FE model-based solution. Moreover, the accuracy of surrogate can be enhanced by the sample points evaluated by the fine FE model. Therefore, the suggested method is easy to converge. After optimization by using the suggested algorithm, the b...
