Evolutionary algorithms applied to a shielding enclosure design

Currently, electromagnetic compatibility presents a severe problem for electric and electronic devices; therefore, the demand for protection has rapidly increased in recent years. Unfortunately, the design of a high-quality shield can involve different pitfalls, and it is impossible to explore and test every possible solution. Many times, the model of an existing structure form different scientific areas have been successfully redesigned using knowledge and techniques adopted from the field of artificial intelligence. The soft computing based approach has been verified here, and selected real case study is presented in this paper. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic within the National Sustainability Programme [LO1303 (MSMT-7778/2014)]; European Regional Development Fund under the Project CEBIA-Tech [CZ.1.05/2.1.00/03.0089]; Internal Grant Agency of Tomas Bata University [IGA/CebiaTech/2019/002]; COST (European Cooperation in Science & Technology) under Action, Improving Applicability of Nature-Inspired Optimisation by Joining Theory and Practice (ImAppNIO) [CA15140]; COST (European Cooperation in Science & Technology) under Action, High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet) [IC1406
