Description for Variational Methods for Structural Optimization
hardcover. Bridges a gap between a mathematical approach to variational problems and the practical use of algorithms of structural optimization in engineering applications. This book presents the foundations of structural optimization in simple form for practical use. Series: Applied Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 574 pages, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBU; TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 31. Weight in Grams: 984.
In recent decades, it has become possible to turn the design process into computer algorithms. By applying different computer oriented methods the topology and shape of structures can be optimized and thus designs systematically improved. These possibilities have stimulated an interest in the mathematical foundations of structural optimization. The challenge of this book is to bridge a gap between a rigorous mathematical approach to variational problems and the practical use of algorithms of structural optimization in engineering applications. The foundations of structural optimization are presented in a sufficiently simple form to make them available for practical use and to allow ... Read more
