Structural optimization

Optimization of structural systems and industrial applications

This book contains the works presented during the second international conference on Computer Aided Optimum Design of Structures, OPTI91, held in Cambridge, Massachusets, (USA) in June, 1991. The presented papers cover a wide range of structural optimization fields. Some of the presentations deal with new optimization techniques as well as the improvement of existing methods. The practical applications included here correspond to aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering, among others. The structural behaviours considered here are static and dynamic loads, seismic actions and fatigue.

Computer aided optimum design of structures: recent advances

This book is one of the two volumes that contain the papers sent to the first international conference of Computer Aided Optimum Design on Structures, OPTI89, hosted in Southampton in June, 1989. In the publication, the high level achievements are described through several documents written by some of the most active researchers in the field. The first section of the book presents optimization of forms. The following section is dedicated to new and powerful optimization algorithms. The last part of the book deals with structural sensibility analyses in linear and non-linear problems.

Computer aided optimum design of structures: applications

This book is the second volume edited with the papers presented at the first international conference on Computer Aided Optimum Design of Structures, OPTI89, hosted in Southampton. This book describes the most recent applications of structural optimization. The first section contains works on integrated designs on computer programs and methods to analyze complex structures and continuous mediums. The second section consists of the application of expert systems to structural optimization. In the following section, the optimization applications in probability analyses are discussed.
