The accuracy of the instrumental variable approach to parameter estimation (also called correlation analysis) can be significantly improved by optimally weighting the estimating equations. However, the optimal weight in general depends on unknown quantities and hence must be itself estimated before
An SQP-based reduced Hessian method for simultaneous analysis and design (SAND) of non-linearly behaving structures is presented and compared with conventional nested analysis and design (NAND) methods. It is shown that it is possible to decompose the SAND formulation to take advantage of the partic
In the present paper, a quasi-analytic method for solving structural optimization problems has been developed by co-ordinated use of mathematical transformations, high-quality approximation and a twolevel approximation strategy. The method which has the advantages of both generality in applications
A generalized hybrid optimal synthesis method is developed for truss structures in which the design variables are the co-ordinates of the panel points, cross-sectional areas and discrete material kinds of member elements. The primary design problem is formulated in terms of the shape, material and s
