Publisher's Synopsis
Metaheuristics-Based Materials Optimization: Enhancing Materials Applications provides a guide to using metaheuristics-based computational techniques to improve the design, performance, and broaden the applications of various materials. The book fuses optimization algorithms with materials engineering, enabling more accurate simulations and models for analyzing and predicting the behavior of materials under different conditions, allowing for design of materials with improved performance, durability, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and other desired characteristics. Metaheuristic approaches for material synthesis and design, structural optimization, material characterization, property prediction, and process optimization are all covered, as are comparisons of different algorithms, step-by-step guidelines on how to implement them, and case studies of them being applied in real-world settings.
