Abstract
Unrealistic “optimal” solutions can be avoided by either prescribing the distribution of cross-sectional parameters on given “segments” of the structure or by imposing constraints on spatial gradients. In the former case, further economy can be achieved by optimizing the segment boundaries as well. Inaddition to optimization of segmentation and Niordson-constraints, multicriteria design of beams will be considered briefly in this chapter.
