Employing a readily accessible and compact format, the book presents an overview of optimization methods, and equips readers to properly set up optimization problems and interpret the results. A ‘how-to-do-it’ approach is followed throughout, with less emphasis at this stage on mathematical derivations. The book features spreadsheet programs provided in Microsoft Excel, which allow readers to experience optimization ‘hands-on.’ Examples covered include truss structures, columns, beams, reinforced shell structures, stiffened panels and composite laminates. For the last three, a review of relevant analysis methods is included. Exercises, with solutions where appropriate, are also included with each chapter. The book offers a valuable resource for engineering students at the upper undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as others in the industry and elsewhere who are new to these highly practical techniques.While the specific application is to structural design, the principles involved can be applied far more widely. 000780720 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 10, 2017). 000780720 650_0 $$aStructural optimization. 000780720 650_0 $$aStructural design. 000780720 650_0 $$aMathematical optimization. 000780720 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319551965$$z9783319551968$$w(OCoLC)972802919 000780720 830_0 $$aSolid mechanics and its applications ;$$vv. 242.$$x0925-0042 000780720 852__ $$bebk 000780720 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-55197-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000780720 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:780720$$pGLOBAL_SET 000780720 980__ $$aEBOOK 000780720 980__ $$aBIB 000780720 982__ $$aEbook 000780720 983__ $$aOnline 000780720 994__ $$a92$$bISE
