Multiobjective Optimization in Structural Design: The Model Choice Problem

Abstract

Existing and potential applications of multi-optimization techniques to structural design are reviewed. Two approaches are available to formulate a multiobjective structural design problem. The first approach starts with a classical design, say minimize weight subject to cost, reliability, risk and other constraints; and then some of the quantities included in the constraints, in particular cost and reliability, are used to define additional objectives.
