Inhaltsangabe

The main purpose of this book is to introduce thereader to the fundamental analytical concepts of thedesign of minimum-weight structures. This subject,more broadly termed structural optimization, iscurrently enjoying great interest in the engineeringresearch. The goal of structural optimization is tocreate finite-element based iterative modelingsystems, which will enable the establishment early inany design of the structural layout required forminimum-weight design. Once this layout is known, theremaining detailed design engineering can follow wellestablished steps. To emphasize that the difficulttask of layout, or topology is being undertaken, thetopic is often referred to as topological structuraloptimization (TSO). It is likely to become a veryimportant tool as TSO methods develop and the desireto reduce the material content and weight of newproducts continues to increase. The subject ofstructural optimization was established at the turnof the last century by an Australian engineer A.G.M.Michell. This work has received new attention overthe last two decades because it serves as thetheoretical base for numerical approaches to improvedstructural design.

Aus dem Klappentext

The main purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the fundamental analytical concepts of the design of minimum-weight structures. This subject, more broadly termed structural optimization, is currently enjoying great interest in the engineering research. The goal of structural optimization is to create finite-element based iterative modeling systems, which will enable the establishment early in any design of the structural layout required for minimum-weight design. Once this layout is known, the remaining detailed design engineering can follow well established steps. To emphasize that the difficult task of layout, or topology is being undertaken, the topic is often referred to as topological structural optimization (TSO). It is likely to become a very important tool as TSO methods develop and the desire to reduce the material content and weight of new products continues to increase. The subject of structural optimization was established at the turn of the last century by an Australian engineer A.G.M. Michell. This work has received new attention over the last two decades because it serves as the theoretical base for numerical approaches to improved structural design.
