... is checked by ANOVA and used as a fitness function. Multiobjective optimization is carried out with a genetic algorithm to arrive at the optimal solution. Findings The hybrid composite patch has maintained equilibrium between the SIF reduction and rise of the peel stress. The repair efficiency and repair...

... by the direct multisearch (DMS) solver. DMS (Custódio et al., 2011) is a solver for multiobjective optimization problems which does not use any derivatives of the objective functions. It is based on a novel technique called DMS, developed by extending direct search from single to multiobjective...

... to account for the optimization of the total weight, the displacement (of a specific section) and the internal stresses distribution of the structure a multiobjective optimization function was proposed. Findings – The numerical results presented in this paper show a significant improvement...
