Optimization of elasticâ€plastic geometrically nonâ€linear lightweight structures under stiffness and stability constraints

An actual structural design, especially that of lightweight structures, must evaluate strength, stiffness and stability constraints. A designed structure must satisfy optimality criteria. One faces known difficulties when trying to implement several from above mentioned requirements into optimizati...
