Global minimum cost design of a welded square stiffened plate supported at four corners

This paper presents the application of a refined version of the original Snyman–Fatti (SF) global continuous optimization algorithm (Snyman and Fatti, J Optimiz Theory Appl 54:121–141, 1987 ) to the optimal design of welded square stiffened plates. In particular we investigate square plates of squar...
