About some important changes in applied structural optimization

Jacek Boron

Abstract


Structural optimization is special domain of employment researching many and how different problems in the field of forming structure. In times of early computer science and computational technology, when the access to “computing time†of the machine was strongly regulated (from the point of view of considerable costs) some optimization problems were very strongly simplified, so their solution could be possible without mathematical programming methods and therefore cheaper.
In times of stormy development of informatization and almost free-for-all personal computers as well as specialized software, complication of structural optimization modeling has grown considerably.
In this paper being short recapitulation of achievements made by Division of Computational Methods in Engineering Design, it refers to these earliest problems and to these very modern both dealing with applied structural optimization, what is the domain of interest of our team from over 25 years.
