The model of organic solar cell is assumed to consist five layers: Al, P3HT:PCBM, PEDOT:PSS, IOT and Glass. Based on the classical plate theory, the basic equations are established taking into account the effect of elastic foundations and initial imperfection. The approximation solutions are selected based on the boundary conditions of the four edges of NMOSC. The equation which indicates the relationship between axial compressive loads and deflection amplitude of NMOSC is obtained by using the Galerkin method. Bees Algorithm is applied to maximize the value of critical buckling load with nine variables including the thickness of five layers, the length and the width of NMOSC and two stiffness coefficients of elastic foundations. The numerical results show the effect of geometrical and material parameters, initial imperfection and elastic foundations on the nonlinear static stability and the critical buckling load of NMOSC. Optimal values of nine geometrical parameters of NMOSC are also determined. date: 2020 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0263823119316192 full_text_status: public publication: Thin-Walled Structures volume: 149 refereed: TRUE issn: 0263-8231 citation: Ngo, Dinh Dat and Vu, Minh Anh and Tran, Quoc Quan and Pham, Truong Duc and Nguyen, Dinh Duc (2020) Nonlinear stability and optimization of thin nanocomposite multilayer organic solar cell using Bees Algorithm.
