Abstract

In the paper the uni- and multimodal optimization problems of elastic annular plates with respect to their stability under thermal loading are investigated. We look for such a distribution of a thickness of a plate (circularly symmetric), which leads to the maximum increment |ΔT| of temperature, causing buckling of the optimal structure under the equality constraint of a constant volume of the material and under inequality constraints imposed on the minimal and maximal values of a plate thickness. The optimal solutions for different modes of supports and different ratio of the inner and outer radius are looked for using the method of moving asymptotes and the simulated annealing.
