Preface
The term Structural Optimization was coined by Lucien Schmit in 1960, when he published an innovative paper1 and launched a revolution in structural design procedures. His idea consisted in coupling nonlinear numerical optimization techniques, typically used in operations research, to finite element structural analyses, in order to achieve an optimal design. Although the origin of optimization methods traces back to the days of Newton,
