Abstract
It is rare to find an engineering design problem that relies upon one single criterion to determine the fitness of a design solution. Several criteria are generally in evidence and in many cases at least two will dominate and it is likely that these will conflict to some degree. For instance minimal weight versus acceptable stress criteria in structural design or, more generically, system cost versus system reliability.
