Overview
- Introductory text that covers all three basic classes of geometry optimization problems of mechanical structures: size, shape as well as topology optimization
- The mathematics is kept at an elementary level
- The algorithms are described in sufficient detail to enable readers to make their own implementations
- The understanding of the material covered is facilitated by computer exercises using programs available at our home page
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Solid Mechanics and Its Applications (SMIA, volume 153)

Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book represents a good introduction to structural optimization. It covers the main methods used for the optimization of discrete and distributed parametric systems. … Due to numerous practical examples, this book can be strongly recommended to young specialists and students in mechanical engineering.” (Sergiu T. Chiriacescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1180, 2010)Bibliographic Information
