SpringerLink ebooks - Engineering (2009)Summary: Intended to supplement the engineer's box of analysis and design tools and make optimization as commonplace as the finite element method in the engineering workplace.Summary: Structural Optimization is intended to supplement the engineerâ€™s box of analysis and design tools making optimization as commonplace as the finite element method in the engineering workplace. It begins with an introduction to structural optimization and the methods of nonlinear programming such as Lagrange multipliers, Kuhn-Tucker conditions, and calculus of variations. It then discusses solution methods for optimization problems such as the classic method of linear programming which leads to the method of sequential linear programming. It then proposes using sequential linear programming together with the incremental equations of structures as a general method for structural optimization. It is furthermore intended to give the engineer an overview of the field of structural optimization.
