Title: Multi-Objective Optimization of Structures

Abstract:

In this talk, we discuss conflicting objectives of various structures in engineering and in nature. The multi-objective optimization problem (MOP) is then formulated. The solution methods for MOP in the literature are reviewed. In particular, we introduce a hybrid evolutionary algorithm and cell mapping method for the global solution of MOPs. Several examples are presented including a nonlinear control example, a case study of multi-objective structural-acoustic optimization, and an MOP design of airfoils.
