Multicriterion Structural Optimization

Abstract

In this article the present state of the multicriterion structural optimization is considered from the basis of about seventy publications which all are connected with the Pareto optimality concept. The completed works rather than open questions in the field are particularly emphasized. The basic concepts and the motivation of the multicriterion approach are briefly discussed. The classification of the multicriterion structural design process is proposed and it is used in describing the published applications.
