Advanced techniques in the optimum design of structures
Abstract
The present volume on advanced techniques in the optimum design of structures discusses sensitivity analysis in static and dynamic problems and adaptive FEMs in computer-aided engineering. Attention is given to entropy-based optimization methods for engineering design and mixed elements in shape optimal design of structures based on compliance. Topics addressed include computer graphics for optimum design and the development of efficient structural design hardware.
