An Introduction to Structural Optimization (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications, 153),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book has grown out of lectures and courses given at Linkping 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 provided. Moreover, since the text has an emphasis on geometrical design problems, where the design is represented by continuously varyingfrequently very many variables, socalled ?rst order methods are central to the treatment. These methods are based on sensitivity analysis, i. e. , on establishing ?rst order derivatives for jectives and constraints. The classical ?rst order methods that we emphasize are CONLIN and MMA, which are based on explicit, convex and separable appro mations. It should be remarked that the classical and frequently used socalled op mality criteria method is also of this kind. It may also be noted in this context that zero order methods such as response surface methods, surrogate models, neural n works, genetic algorithms, etc. , essentially apply to different types of problems than the ones treated here and should be presented elsewhere.
By changing our most important processes and
products, we have already made a big leap forward. This ranges from the
increased use of more sustainable fibers to the use of more
environmentally friendly printing processes to the development of
efficient waste management in our value chain.
