Experimental Design Optimization and Thermophysical Parameter Estimation of Composite Materials Using Genetic Algorithms

Thermophysical characterization of anisotropic composite materials is extremely important in the control of today fabrication processes and in the prediction of structure failure due to thermal stresses. Accuracy in the estimation of the thermal properties can be improved if the experiments are desi...
