The objective in this paper is to apply the same genetic model as applied in Part 1 to optimizing the shear damage to the fiber–matrix interface of nanocomposite material graphite epoxy. The results show good agreement between the numerical simulation and the actual behavior of the chosen composite and nanocomposite materials, and these results are similar to those obtained by processing techniques of expanded graphite reinforced polymer nanocomposites made by Asma Yasmine. These results were confirmed by calculating the rate of damage with a genetic simulation.
