Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, the official journal of the International Society of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, publishes information on all aspects of the field. It covers a wide range of topics dealing with designing optimal structures (stressed systems). Moreover, it covers multidisciplinary optimization techniques when one of the disciplines deals with structures (stressed solids) or fluids. The journal’s scope ranges from mathematical foundations of the field to algorithm and software development with benchmark studies to practical applications and case studies in structural, aero-space, mechanical, civil, chemical, and naval engineering. Closely related fields such as computer-aided design and manufacturing, reliability analysis, artificial intelligence, system identification and modeling, inverse processes, computer simulation, and active control of structures are covered when the topic is relevant to optimization.
