      abstract = {This book serves as a complementary resource to the  courses "Advanced structural optimization" and "Structural  optimization in automotive engineering" taught by the  author at the University of Siegen, North-Rhine-Westphalia,  Germany since 2001. Focusing on optimization problems in  the field of structural engineering, this book offers a  rigorous and analytical approach to problem-solving. Each  chapter of the book begins with a brief overview of  classical results and the derivation of governing  equations. The solutions to optimization problems are then  presented in a closed form, with the author guiding readers  through several analytical methods for solving stability  and contact tasks. Throughout the book, the author takes  care to ensure that even readers without extensive  experience in numerical computations can understand the  conclusion of each relation. The book features several  basic optimization problems, selected from a large pool of  previously solved problems, with a particular emphasis on  the unique features of optimization problems. By presenting  analytical solutions, readers can better understand other  known optimization problems and gain the skills needed to  independently set and solve new problems. With its  comprehensive and rigorous approach to problem-solving,  this book is sure to enhance the reader's understanding of  the field and equip them with the skills needed to tackle  new challenges. .},
