... and maximum induced stresses. A shear lag model of the smart plate structure is created, and the optimization problem is solved using an evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm: nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II. Pareto-optimal solutions are obtained for different case studies. Further...
