Optimization of laminated composite plates and shells using genetic algorithms, neural networks and finite elements
Structural optimization using computational tools has become a major research field in recent years. Methods commonly used in structural analysis and optimization may demand considerable computational cost, depending on the problem complexity. Therefore, many techniques have been evaluated in order...
