Abstract
In this paper, we propose an approach for designing and quantitatively assessing the performance of the multilayered radar-absorbing structure. In our proposed approach, a five layered radarabsorbing materials design is optimized from the predefined materials database. But to determine the optimal choice of the material and thickness of each layer, a combined binary and real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is used to handle the integer and real variables involved in such designs. Further, the proposed approach employs the Latin hypercube sampling with Monte Carlo Simulation to carry out the performance based reliability analysis of the design. Absorber synthesized results are compared with the published work using other algorithms. The outcomes of our approach show that the combined GA works quite well, and most prominently the reliability analysis provides the decision maker a means to select among the several design alternatives available before him.
