Population-based techniques for the multiple objective optimisation of sandwich materials and structures

Sandwich materials, consisting of two thin, stiff facings separated by a low density core, can be used to produce structures that are both light and flexurally rigid. Such assemblies are attractive for applications in transport and construction. However, their optimisation is rarely straightforward....
