Multiple- and single-objective approaches to laminate optimization with genetic algorithms

In this paper an application of a genetic algorithm to a material- and sizing-optimization problem of a plate is described. This approach has obvious advantages: it does not require any derivative information and it does not impose any restriction, in terms of convexity, on the solution space. The p...
