Multicriteria Design Optimization

Abstract

In the aerospace industry the methods of structural optimization have been integrated into the process of engineering design in many cases. Especially for complex design problems, their application leads to optimal layouts which fulfill all requirements in the best possible manner. Fundamental suggestions for this use in industrial practice were made by L.A. Schmit [1]. Nowadays, mathematical optimization algorithms and finite element methods set the basis for optimization computations with a high rate of generality and efficiency [2]. The additional inclusion of optimization models leads not only to a very modular architecture but also to the direct consideration of all relevant practical demands [3]. A variety of examples of aircraft and spacecraft structures shows the advantages of this procedure [4].
