suitable gradient-based techniques. Noting that the
number of design variables (number of elements)
can be very large, one should adopt a solution
method capable of solving large-scale problems.
The method of moving asymptotes (MMA)
proposed by Svanberg (1987) is a well-known
solution method used in topology optimization
problems. Another common approach is using
optimality criteria (OC) based algorithms. In the
following, after deriving the optimality criteria
for the optimization problem (1.15), we propose
a heuristic iterative fixed-point algorithm to solve
the optimization problem based on the optimality
criteria.
The eigenvalue equation, j = λ j j can be
satisfied separately using finite element analysis.
Excluding this equation, the Lagrangian of Prob-
lem (1.15) takes the form

To increase the fundamental frequency, we add
a vector of increments ∆ x = (∆ x 1 , ∆ x 2 ,…, ∆ x N ) T
to the design variables x = ( x 1 , x 2 ,…, x N ) T . The
subsequent change in the fundamental frequency
and the design volume can then be evaluated as

Using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker results (Karush 1939;

as follows
