Structural optimization is currently attracting considerable attention. Interest in search in optimal design has grown in connection with the rapid development of aeronautical and space technologies, shipbuilding, and design of precision mach ery. A special ?eld in these investigations is devoted to structural optimization with incomplete information (incomplete data). The importance of these investigations is explained as follows. The conventional theory of optimal structural design sumes precise knowledge of material parameters, including damage characteristics and loadings applied to the structure. In practice such precise knowledge is seldom available. Thus, it is important to be able to predict the sensitivity of a designed structure to random ?uctuations in the environment and to variations in the material properties. To design reliable structures it is necessary to apply the socalled gu anteed approach, based on a worst case scenario or a more optimistic probabilistic approach, if we have additional statistical data. Problems of optimal design with incomplete information also have consid able theoretical importance. The introduction and investigations into new types of mathematical problems are interesting in themselves. Note that some ga theoretical optimization problems arise for which there are no systematic techniques of investigation. This monograph is devoted to the exposition of new ways of formulating and solving problems of structural optimization with incomplete information. We recall some research results concerning the optimum shape and structural properties of bodies subjected to external loadings.
