Many Objective Optimization of a Magnetic Micro–Electro–Mechanical (MEMS) Micromirror with Bounded MP-NSGA Algorithm

The paper proposes the automated optimal design of a class of micro–electro–mechanical (MEMS) devices, based on a procedure of finite element analysis coupled to evolutionary optimization algorithms. A magnetic MEMS, used as an optical switch, is considered as the case study. In particular, the geom...
