M.Sc. Thesis — Composite Rim Optimisation (MOGA-II)

Multi-objective optimisation of a CFRP prepreg composite rim using the MOGA-II genetic algorithm, trading mass against stiffness and strength reserves under representative wheel loads. Couples ply-stack parameterisation with FE-based fitness evaluation.
