This research improves the theoretical foundations for structural               optimization and clarifies controversies on existing solutions                  available for multimodel optimization.  The research develops a new and         simpler solution for the optimal design of a doubly clamped column and          re-examines other optimization problems in which multiple Eigen values          occur such as vibrating shafts and beams.  Multimodel optimization is           an effective approach to improve the reliability in the design of               structures, such as columns, frames, and arches.  This research will            help to validate and assess the theoretical disparities, if any, of the         approaches currently used for multimodel optimization.  The results has         a good potential to increase the confidence of the theoretical                  approaches that are used for structural optimization.
