Foreword
Both nature and mankind have striven for years to use natural or artificial processes to achieve an optimum or best outcome. While Nature has the inherent capability to organize its phenomena optimally, mankind has to develop his approaches based on scientific considerations and derivations supported by experimental measurements. Around 1770, Lagrange developed mathematical methods for seeking optimal solutions and originated the formulation of an “Optimal Column”. At the present time, strict mathematical methods for optimization are available for nonlinear cases with constraints. At the same time, the general use of optimization procedures has not been adopted in design and manufacture. The moderate success in optimization may have its background in the relatively complicated use of strict ma
