A study by a genetic algorithm for optimizing the arrangement of the fibers on the damage to the fiber–matrix interface of a composite material

The objective of this work is to optimize the arrangement of the fibers to reduce damage to the fiber matrix interface of a composite material. The results obtained by the genetic algorithm based on the volume fraction of reinforcement show a good agreement between numerical simulation and the actual behavior of both materials T300/914 and PEEK/APC2, however, it would be interesting to see the effect of thermal stress on the optimization of the arrangement by the molecular dynamics method.
