Multilayered composite structure design optimisation using distributed/parallel multi-objective evolutionary algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a research work on stacking sequence design optimisation for multilayered composite plate using a parallel/distributed evolutionary algorithm. The stacking sequence of fibres has a dramatic influence on the strength of multilayered composite plates. Multiple layers of fibre-reinforced material systems offer versatility in engineering material design due to the fact that the stacking sequence of each orthotropic layer can offer full advantage of superior mechanical properties. Numerical results show that the optimal composite structures have lower weight, higher stiffness and also affordable cost when compared to the extreme and intermediate composite structures. In addition, the benefits of using a parallel optimisation system are also presented. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A Study of Distributed Evolutionary Algorithms for Multi-objective Optimisation
Most popular Evolutionary Algorithms for single multi-objective optimisation are motivated by the reduction of the computation time and the resolution larger problems. A promising alternative is to create new distributed schemes that improve the behaviour of the search process of such algorithms. In the multi-objective optimisation problems, more exploration of the search space is required to o...
متن کاملPERFORMANCE-BASED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR STEEL STRUCTURES WITH INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS
A multi-objective heuristic particle swarm optimiser (MOHPSO) based on Pareto multi-objective theory is proposed to solve multi-objective optimality problems. The optimality objectives are the roof displacement and structure weight. Two types of structure are analysed in this paper, a truss structure and a framework structure. Performance-based seismic analysis, such as classical and modal push...
