A Distributed Genetic Algorithm With Migration for the Design of Composite Laminate Structures

This thesis describes the development of a general Fortran 90 framework for the solution of composite laminate design problems using a genetic algorithm (GA). The initial Fortran 90 module and package of operators result in a standard genetic algorithm (sGA). The sGA is extended to operate on a pa...
