Abstract: It is very common in structural optimization that the optima lie
at or in the vicinities of the singular points of feasible
domain. Therefore it is very reasonable to introduce wavelet
transform that is advantageous in singularity detection. The
principle and algorithm of the application of wavelet transform
in structural optimization are discussed The feasibility is
demonstrated by some typical examples.
Key words: Wavelet
