Abstract
A major concern in all optimal design studies is the time required for the evaluation of the objective functions during the optimisation process. Although the computers continue to improve (steadily increasing computational power), it is still (and it will be always) important to develop proper computer programs (software) to save computation time for numerical analysis. As this time-saving can be dramatically important, significant emphasis is placed on investigating and developing techniques with the intent of minimising the computational effort required for the optimal design process.
