Abstract
The paper is devoted to optimization in multiscale problems. The composite modelled as a macrostructure with a local periodic microstructure is considered. The multiscale analysis is performed with the use of the homogenization method. The parallel evolutionary algorithm used in computations allows to shorten wall time of optimization. The fitness function evaluation with the use of the parallel homogenization algorithm is considered. The paper contains a description of the parallel evolutionary algorithm, the homogenization method, the optimization formulation and numerical examples.
