Abstract
This paper presents multi-objective optimisation of a laminated cylinder’s dynamic behaviour and cost through stacking sequence, geometry, and appropriate materials choice. The optimized dynamic parameters are the width of a band in the frequency spectrum free of natural frequencies and the cost of applied materials. The multiobjective procedure involves mode shape identification, genetic algorithm-based optimisation, and deep neural networks-based surrogate model. The novel elements proposed are a detailed analysis of the number of initial finite element method calls necessary to train the neural network-based surrogate model, a study concerning different surrogate model schemes (one network or a network ensemble), error function applied during surrogate model training, and the application of high-fidelity (and time consuming) or low-fidelity (but very fast) finite element models.
