Variational Methods for Structural Optimization (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book bridges a gap between a rigorous mathematical approach to variational problems and the practical use of algorithms of structural optimization in engineering applications. The foundations of structural optimization are presented in sufficiently simple form as to make them available for practical use.
