"Evolution of Stiffened Panels in Engineering"

Mini ReviewThe evolution of stiffened panels from ancient times to nowadays and also in the future may be described as a long hard way from carved-out log boats to complex thin-walled structures, large ships, supersonic airplanes and space crafts.In parallel with human experience evolve common knowledge, methods, experimental and calculational facilities in lasting interaction with the progress of technology [1,2].This review calls to mind the potential of evolutionary optimization methods for back tracing the evolution of stiffened panels in engineering using the NSGA-II Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) [3] providing a generic multi-objective solver [4,5].Finally, the review reinterprets the results of evolutionary optimization regarding the evolution of stiffened panels.
