Abstract

The techniques of the calculus of variation and of optimization proved to be successful for several optimal shape design problems however these remain expensive both in the qualification of the engineers required to understand the method and in computing time. However it seems difficult to do without such techniques for 3-dimensional optimization problems. The field is well studied from the mathematical point of view but still in its beginnings from the industrial implementation side.
