Notes:
This paper presents an algorithm for optimal design of elastic structures, subjected to dynamic loads. Finite element, modal analysis and a generalized steepest descent method are employed in developing a computational algorithm. Structural weight is minimized subject to constraints on displacement, stress, structural frequency, and member size. Optimum results for several example problems are presented and compared with those available in the literature.
