Abstract

Optimum design of plate structures is achieved while the design constraints are frequency constraints. To reduce the computational cost of optimization, the frequencies are approximated using the Rayleigh quotient. The key to the efficiency of the method is the creation of a high quality approximation. To achieve this all the quantities in the Rayleigh quotient are approximated by a two point function approximation. The approximation is carried out by using some intermediate variables. The design variables are considered as the thickness of plate elements, while the intermediate variables are taken as thickness and bending stiffness of the elements. Examples are presented and the results are compared with several other approximation methods.
