Abstract
In many engineering applications, selection of subcomponents for assembly into a useful structure is a more important design decision than modification of the detailed dimensions of individual subcomponent. Examples in the automobile industry include selection of strength members of the roof of a van to enhance buckling resistance or placement of engine support members in the chassis of a truck to reduce vibration. In these problems, the design variables are the subcomponents themselves, rather than the dimensions of the subcomponents.
