Optimality Criterion Methods in Structural Optimization
Optimization algorithms based on an optimal criterion to design a minimum weight structure are presented. The algorithms are derived for the direct design variable and the reciprocal design variable, and their relationship is discussed. The use of different algorithms and their effect on the convergence behavior is illustrated with sample problems. The presentation is limited to structures which can be analyzed by the finite element method and which are subjected to the constraints on stresses, displacements, minimum and maximum sizes and system stability.

Structural Optimization is intended to supplement the engineer’s box of analysis and design tools making optimization as commonplace as the finite element method in the engineering workplace. It begins with an introduction to structural optimization and the methods of nonlinear programming such as Lagrange multipliers, Kuhn-Tucker conditions, and calculus of variations. It then discusses solution methods for optimization problems such as the classic method of linear programming which leads to the method of sequential linear programming. It then proposes using sequential linear programming together with the incremental equations of structures as a general method for structural optimization. It is furthermore intended to give the engineer an overview of the field of structural optimization.
