OPTIMIZATION METHODS IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN - ALA...

This book offers an introduction to numerical optimization methods in structural design.
Employing a readily accessible and compact format  the book presents an overview of
optimization methods  and equips readers to properly set up optimization problems and interpret
the results. A ¿how-to-do-it¿ approach is followed throughout  with less emphasis at this stage
on mathematical derivations. The book features spreadsheet programs provided in Microsoft Excel
which allow readers to experience optimization ¿hands-on.¿ Examples covered include truss
structures  columns  beams  reinforced shell structures  stiffened panels and composite
laminates. For the last three  a review of relevant analysis methods is included. Exercises 
with solutions where appropriate  are also included with each chapter. The book offers a
valuable resource for engineering students at the upper undergraduate and postgraduate level 
as well as others in the industry and elsewhere who are new to these highly practical
techniques.While the specific application is to structural design  the principles involved can
be applied far more widely.
