Shape and layout optimization represent some of the most useful but also most difficult classes of problems in structural design, which have been investigated in detail only during the last few years. Shape optimization is concerned with the optimal shape of boundaries of continua or of interfaces b

β¦ Synopsis
Introduces a wide variety of practical approaches to the synthesis and optimization of shapes for mechanical elements and structures-emphasizing the simplest methods possible for achieving the best results without mathematical complexity, especially computer solutions. Provides in-depth case studies of structures subjected to different types of static and dynamic loading, including load-bearing structures with arbitrary support conditions, rotating disks, layered structures, pressure vessels, elastic bodies, and structural elements subjected to impulsive loading.
