Minimizing Thermal Residual Stresses in Ceramic Matrix Composite by BSG-Starcraft Radius PSO

To achieve an excellent thermal-mechanical performance of CMCs, it is necessary to analyze and design the thickness of the multi-layered interphases for an optimized TRS distribution. An optimization was performed with a new version of the particle swarm optimization, the BSG-Starcraft Radius PSO linked to a finite element software.
