The stacking sequence optimization problem for multi-region composite structures is studied in this work by considering both blending and design constraints. Starting from an initial stacking sequence design, unnecessary plies can be removed from this initial design and layer thicknesses of necessary plies are optimally determined. The existence of each ply is represented with discrete 0/1 variables and ply thicknesses are treated as continuous variables. A first-level approximate problem is constructed with branched multipoint approximate functions to replace the primal problem. To solve this approximate problem, genetic algorithm is firstly used to optimize discrete variables, and meanwhile, a blending design scheme is proposed to generate a blended structure. Starting from the thinnest region, this scheme shares all layers of current thinnest region with its adjacent regions. For non-shared layers in the adjacent regions, local mutation is implemented to add or delete plies to make them efficient designs. The whole process is repeated until the blending rule is satisfied. After that, a second-level approximate problem is built to optimize the continuous variables of ply thicknesses for retained layers. Those procedures are repeated until the optimal solution is obtained. Numerical applications, including a two-patch panel and a corrugated central cylinder in a satellite, are conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of the optimization strategy.
