Multiobjective optimization of viscoelastic laminated sandwich structures using the Direct MultiSearch method

A multiobjective approach for optimization of passive damping for vibration reduction in sandwich structures is presented in this paper. Constrained optimization is conducted for maximization of modal loss factors and minimization of weight of sandwich beams and plates with elastic laminated constra...
