Description for An Introduction to Structural Optimization
Hardback. This textbook gives an introduction to all three classes of geometry optimization problems of mechanical structures: sizing, shape and topology optimization. The style is explicit and concrete, focusing on problem formulations and numerical solution methods. Series: Solid Mechanics and its Applications. Num Pages: 224 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TNC. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 244 x 162 x 17. Weight in Grams: 486.
This book has grown out of lectures and courses given at Linkoeping University, Sweden, over a period of 15 years. It gives an introductory treatment of problems and methods of structural optimization. The three basic classes of geometrical - timization problems of mechanical structures, i. e. , size, shape and topology op- mization, are treated. The focus is on concrete numerical solution methods for d- crete and (?nite element) discretized linear elastic structures. The style is explicit and practical: mathematical proofs are provided when arguments can be kept e- mentary but are otherwise only cited, while implementation details are frequently ... Read more
