Abstract
Structural design problems can be considered to be optimization problems because a design is sought which is optimal by some criterion subject to limitations on size, behavior, or other aspects of the structure. Under certain conditions, such problems may be solved by conventional mathematical programming techniques. The minimum weight design of a statically indeterminate three-bar truss is used to illustrate the application of the "sequential unconstrained minimization technique" of Fiacco and McCormick to the optimal design of trussed structures. A suggested computational procedure and computer program are included.

    An optimization technique using the finite element method and orthogonal arrays 

    Young, Stuart H. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-09);
    The objective of this research was to develop an optimization technique that can be used interactively by design engineers to approach an optimal design with minimal computational effort. The technique can be applied to ...

    Simulation screening experiments using lasso-optimal supersaturated design and analysis: a maritime operations application 

    Xing, Dadi; Wan, Hong; Zhu, Michael Yu; Sanchez, Susan M.; Kaymal, Turgut (2013);
    Screening methods are beneficial for studies involving simulations that have a large number of variables where a relatively small (but unknown) subset is important. In this paper, we show how a newly proposed Lasso-optimal ...

    An expository paper on optimal design 

    Johnson, Rachel T.; Montgomery, Douglas C.; Jones, Bradley A. (Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2011);
    There are many situations in which the requirements of a standard experimental design do not fit the research requirements of the problem. Three such situations occur when the problem requires unusual resource restrictions, ...
