Abstract

An algorithm drawn from the method of superelements for weighted optimization problems involving compound shell structures and based on strength conditions is described. The conditions are stated in terms of nonlinear mathematical programming methods. The thickness of the shell constitutes the control. Techniques are proposed for reducing the length of the computations, and the effectiveness of these techniques is illustrated by the solution of an optimization problem for a glass envelope.
