• Resumen

  • The study deals with the problem of layered plate multiobjective optimization against penetration of strikers having supersonic entry velocities. The plate is monolithic piece-wise homogeneous and composed from several plate-like layers produced from various given materials. The number of considered materials is supposed to be finite and consequently the admissible design set consists of separate discrete values. The impactor is modeled as an axisymmetric rigid body with blunted nose. The ballistic limit velocity and the mass of the plate are taken as components of the vector-functional that is optimized in Pareto sense. Best distribution of given materials is found with the help of genetic algorithm.
