Summary
In this paper multi-objective genetic algorithms have been used to search for the optimal
placement of the piezoelectric sensors and actuators bonded on smart beams. A
finite element method based on Timoshenko beam theory is used accounting for the
piezoelectric layers. The discrete optimal sensor and actuator location problem is formulated
in the framework of a zero-one optimization problem with multi-objective
functions as performance measures. A cantilever beam example is considered to
demonstrate the performance of the selected multi-objective genetic algorithm which
is NSGAII. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is effective in developing optimal
Pareto front curves for optimal placement and number of actuators and sensors such
that the performance on dynamic responses is also satisfied.
