Abstract

The survey by Krużelecki & Życzkowski (1986) contains nearly all papers devoted to the optimal structural design of shells up to 1984 (606 references). Recent topics can be found in the book by Rozvany (1989). In particular, the eighth chapter of the monograph by Gajewski & Życzkowski (1988) concernes the optimal structural design of shells under stability constraints. Only a few papers deal with variational optimization problems, among them one should mention papers by Andreev, Mossakovsky & Obodan (1972), Solodovnikov (1974), Medvedev (1980,1981), Ryabtsev (1983a,b) and Levy & Spillers (1989) in which unimodal formulations were considered.
