The Effect of Frequency Constraints on Optimum Design of Automotive Structures

This paper presents a method for studying the effect of frequency requirements on the optimum design of automotive structures. Performing such studies can lead to better designs, by helping the designer understand the nature of the design space and the effect of the frequency requirements on the optimum design. To demonstrate the methodology and the effect of the frequency requirements a case study for the optimum design of an automotive structure is considered.
