The goal of this paper is to present new innovative algorithms for discrete structural optimization of problems involving multi-criteria objective function, which contains stress, displacement and frequency constraints. The algorithm is tested on a shell finite element structure, whose optimization variables are geometrical parameters and shell thicknesses. Performance of memetic algorithm will be compared with genetic algorithm.

Keywords: memetic algorithm; genetic algorithm; structural optimization; multi-criteria optimization; modal analysis; buckling analysis; static analysis
