        Abstract
        The purpose of this paper is to exploit genetic algorithms for the optimization of several characteristics of the woven 
composite materials as function of the nature of the polymer chosen as matrix, of the nature of fibres, and of the fabric
geometrical parameters. Simulation results and comparative analyses with experimental data are presented.
