.../methodology/approach A novel optimization problem formulation is developed that cannot be solved with a generic weighted sum approach. Instead, Pareto optimization is performed using a population-based genetic algorithm, with the optimal solution selected via the technique for order of preference...

... to quantize the above objective functions. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is used to acquire Pareto solutions. Findings – The effectiveness of this method is validated through a prototype laboratory called the piezoelectric intelligent structure where promising results...
