Abstract

Techniques for the improvement of procedures for large scale structural synthesis are investigated. One involves a method for control of oscillation found to occur in many optimization procedures. The other is a new primal mathematical programming formulation. The central idea for oscillation control is the use of the gradients of a potentially active constraint set to prevent serious violation of one of the set when a move is made considering only the active constraints. The mathematical programming procedure is based on an improved feasible direction finding formulation. Results of numerical experiments with these methods are very encouraging. © 1981 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., All rights reserved.
