Fuzzy Controlled Genetic Algorithm Search for Shape Optimization
Chee Kiong Soh,Jiaping Yang +1 more
TL;DR: An automated optimal procedure based on the proposed fuzzy controlled genetic-based search technique for structural shape optimization is developed and used in the least-weight design of truss structures, which include their geometry as a design variable to be optimized.

Structural optimization complexity: what has Moore’s law done for us?
TL;DR: This paper reviews how increases in computer power were utilized in structural optimization and concludes that problems with the highest possible complexity can be solved in only two of the three components of model, analysis procedure or optimization.

Integrated Aeroservoelastic Optimization: Status and Direction
TL;DR: A number of analysis codes, with the capabilities to model real airplane systems under the assumptions of linearity, have been developed as discussed by the authors and many tests have been conducted, and results were correlated with analytical predictions, and a selective sample of references covering aeroservoelastic testing programs from the 1960s to the early 1980s, as well as more recent wind-tunnel test programs of real or realistic configurations are included in the References section of this paper.

Structural design optimization of wind turbine towers
Hani M. Negm,Karam Y. Maalawi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main tower body is considered to be built from uniform segments where the effective design variables are chosen to be the cross-sectional area, radius of gyration and height of each segment.

Application of Structural Optimization
M. Z. Cohn,A. S. Dinovitzer +1 more
TL;DR: The extent of practical use of optimization in structural engineering to date is established and the complexities of mathematical optimization represent a major obstacle for the structural designer, even when he is motivated to use optimization.

Structural synthesis - Its genesis and development
TL;DR: An historical account is given of the development, from its conception in 1960, of the structural synthesis method, and such elementary applications of synthesis methods as the three-bar truss, an integrally stiffened waffle plate, a stiffened cylindrical shell, and an idealized delta wing are given.
