Samenvatting:

Considers a range of topics in engineering optimization, concerning research procedures and applications and emphasizes the need to produce lighter, stronger and safer technical components. Topics considered include shape and layout optimization and structural optimization with advanced materials.



Covering a range of topics in engineering optimization, concerning research procedures and applications, this book may also contribute new ideas and concepts in a world of ever-decreasing natural resources and an ever-increasing demand for lighter yet stronger and safer technical components. The contributions can be grouped under the following five main topics: shape and layout optimization, structural optimization with advanced materials, optimal designs with special structural and material behaviour, sensitivity program systems and optimization with stability constraints and special problems. This book of proceedings on mechanical engineering, civil engineering, off-shore engineering, applied mathematics, engineering design and computational mechanics is intended for engineers and advanced students.
