Abstract: In several design cases, designers need to optimize a number of responses concurrently. A general approach for the multiple response cases optimization start with using the regression models to calculate the correlations between response functions and control factors. Then, a system for collecting various response functions together into a one quantity, such as an objective function, is engaged and, at last, an optimization technique is used to calculate the best combinations for the control functions. A different method proposed in this paper is to use an artificial neural network (ANN) to calculate the parameter response functions. At the optimization stage, a multi objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is used in combination with an objective functions to establish the optimum conditions for the control functions. A crane hook example has been taken to optimize multiple shape parameter responses to with stand a new loading condition. The results estimate the reduction in mass and sufficient factor of safety to show the proposed approach for the optimization of multi- disciplinary shape optimization problems.
