Abstract
In most real-world structural optimization problems one is concerned with more than a single objective. In fact, the objective functions are conflicting and possibly non-commensurable; hence there is no single solution that is optimal with respect to all objectives but rather a set of efficient solutions known as the Pareto-optimal set. The need for effective and efficient techniques to compute an approximation of the Pareto set in a single run thus is obvious. Due to the growing complexity of the problems tackled, derivative-free techniques in general, and nature-inspired metaheuristics in particular, are becoming increasingly popular. In this paper a critical review of the most relevant derivative-free techniques that have been applied to multiobjective structural optimization problems is offered together with current trends and suggestions for further work.
