Abstract
The objective of this work is to demonstrate the generalized compound scaling algorithm in the design of plate structures with frequency constraints. The robustness of the algorithm is demonstrated on large scale problems using scaling technique alone. This paper presents the optimization algorithm, numerical results and discussions. Design histories and the first few frequencies at the initial and optimum condition are also included.
