Introduction

• Greetings, project title, names, without further ado

Preliminary narrowing

• Project objective: clear, concise, striking
• Scope: narrowing of research objective, what, why?
• Problem definition, naming/numbering/FEM/sectional/patch conventions

Optimisation

• Objective function: what, why, how reach criteria
• Method: why GA, how it's good, what concepts & how implement
• GA: tested, what, why, results, show what, stability, reliable, robustness, minimum settings, how GA used in subsequent studies

Beams

• What beam, why study, what use / objective to project
• Broad: why broad, use (narrowing of structure research)
• Aspect ratios, Mesh density, No. of laminated layers, Lamination symmetry, Ply angles and sequence
• Specific: why specific, use (broad results used, specifics are normally encountered beams, simple B.C. & loads)
• CF beam, different patch configuration, Different beam depths, Vary desired shapes, CC beam, different patch configuration; Vary desired shapes; SS beam, different patch configuration; Vary desired shape; CS beam, different patch configuration; Vary desired shape; Continuous beams, with odd number of hinged supports; Vary patch configuration and desired shape
• Results: what results, why, interpret, reach objective?
• Implications: variant, invariant, how much, always / specific, usefulness, relationships

Plates

• What plate, why study, what use / objective to project
• Broad: why broad, use (narrowing of structure research)
• Mesh density; Plate dimensions (L/W); Aspect ratio (L/d); Number of layers; Lamination symmetry Ply angles and sequence; Load directions; Load magnitudes; 1 line of symmetry; 2 lines of symmetry
• Specific: why specific, use (broad results used, specifics are normally encountered beams, simple B.C. & loads)
• CFFF plate; FCCC plate; FCFC plate; FFCC plate; CCCC plate; FSSS plate; FSFS plate; FFSS plate; SSSS plate; Plates with arbitrary boundary and load conditions
• Results: what results, why, interpret, reach objective?
• Implications: variant, invariant, how much, always / specific, usefulness, relationships
