An efficient evolutionary multi-objective framework for MEMS design optimisation: validation, comparison and analysis
<12> Funded by EPSRC/IMRC together with COMSOL, EnginSoft and Unilever, this research developed advanced evolutionary computation techniques to break through the complexity ceiling of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) design. EnginSoft used the work to showcase their ‘modeFrontier’ product. The research findings supported the creation of the £11.1M EPSRC National Centre “Through-life Engineering Services (TES)”, with seventeen industrial partners including BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Bombardier Transport, UK MoD. The work introduced a novel research area, and further developments (in the application of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in multi-level MEMS design optimisation for self-healing systems) are a significant part of core research in TES.
