Global Optimization for Mixed–Discrete Structural Design

Several structural design problems that involve continuous and discrete variables are very challenging because of the combinatorial and non-convex characteristics of the problems. Although the deterministic optimization approach theoretically guarantees to find the global optimum, it usually leads t...
