Multi-objective isogeometric integrated optimization for shape control of piezoelectric functionally graded plates

This paper presents a novel multi-objective integrated optimization method for static shape control of piezoelectric functionally graded plates (FGPs). The new method combines isogeometric analysis (IGA) and an effective multi-objective non-gradient algorithm which has not been applied to the integrated design of piezoelectric FGPs. Mechanical behavior of the FGPs with surface bonded piezoelectric layers is derived using the IGA associated with...
