Topology Design Methods for Structural Optimization provides engineers with a basic set of design tools for the development of 2D and 3D structures subjected to

Today’s biggest structural engineering challenge is to design better structures, and a key issue is the need to take an integrated approach which balances con

In the past, the possibilities of structural optimization were restricted to an optimal choice of profiles and shape. Further improvement can be obtained by sel
