The purpose of this book is to introduce the fundamentals,methods and applications of structural optimization.Much work has been done and many studies have been publishedon structural optimization in recent years. The book is anattempt to collect together selected topics of thisliterature and to present them in a unified approach. Itmeets the need for an introductory text covering the variousaspects associated with this area. This should prove usefulto both the student and the practising structural engineer.The book discusses in detail various problem formulations,relative merit of different optimization methods andconsiderations related to practical applications. Theemphasis throughout is on approximation concepts, which areessential in the solutionof may practical design problems,and on multistage design procedures where various methodsare combined ti solve the overall design problem. Theadvantages as well as the limitations of the various problemformulations, solution methods and design procedures arediscussed and illustrated by a variety of examples. |
