Summary/Abstract: 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.
