1 1 Formulation of a design improvement problem as a formal mathematical optimization problem Specific Features of Shape Optimization Formulation of a design improvement problem as a formal mathematical optimization problem Normalisation of constraints It is important to normalise the constraints and make them dimensionless. Example 1: stress constraint can be transformed to Example 2: buckling constraint can be transformed to Geometrical interpretation of a constrained maximization problem Geometrical interpretation of an optimization process Local and global minima Local and global
