Multi-dimensional design optimisation of laminated structures using an improved genetic algorithm
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0263-8223(01)00109-X, 2001)The present study demonstrates a new variation of the genetic algorithm (GA) technique for engineering applications. This approach is highly efficient for many classes of engineering problems. The proposed selection of the ... -
A technique for optimally designing engineering structures with manufacturing tolerances accounted for
(Taylor & Francishttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03052150600843308, 2007)Accurate optimal design solutions for most engineering structures present considerable difficulties due to the complexity and multi-modality of the functional design space. The situation is made even more complex when ... -
A technique for stiffness improvement by optimization of fiber steering in composite plates
(Springerhttp://www.springerlink.com/content/h813074n588177w1/fulltext.pdf, 2010)A methodology for stiffness improvement by optimal orientation of fibers placed using fiber steering techniques of composite plates has been developed and is described here. A genetic algorithm is employed to determine the ...
