Im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches steht eines der wichtigsten Optimierungsverfahren der industriellen Ingenieurtechnik: Mit Hilfe genetischer Algorithmen lassen sich

Structural design problems are often modeled using finite element methods. Such models are often characterized by constraint functions that are not explicitly d

This book presents efficient metaheuristic algorithms for optimal design of structures. Many of these algorithms are developed by the author and his colleagues,
