Discrete Structural Optimization
The engineering design of structures and machines consists often in finding the best solution among a finite number of feasible decisions. This volume comprises problems and solution methods for discrete structural optimization. Exact, approximate and heuristic methods are presented applying deterministic and stochastic approaches.
Emerging Methods for Multidisciplinary Optimization
This volume provides an up-to-date overview of major advances, emerging trends, and projected industrial applications in the field of multidisciplinary optimization. It concentrates on the current status of the field, exposes commonalities, innovative, promising, and speculative methods. This book provides a view of today’s multidisciplinary optimization environment through a balenced theoretical and practical treatment. The contributors are the foremost authorities in each area of specialisation.
Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems
Solving multi-objective problems is an evolving effort, and computer science and other related disciplines have given rise to many powerful deterministic and stochastic techniques for addressing these large-dimensional optimization problems. Evolutionary algorithms are one such generic stochastic approach that has proven to be successful and widely applicable in solving both single-objective and multi-objective problems. This textbook is a second edition of Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems, significantly expanded and adapted for the classroom. The various features of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are presented here in an innovative and student-friendly fashion, incorporating state-of-the-art research. The book disseminates the application of evolutionary algorithm techniques to a variety of practical problems, including test suites with associated performance based on a variety of appropriate metrics, as well as serial and parallel algorithm implementations.
Neural Computing for Structural Mechanics
Describing the application of artificial neural networks to structural mechanics, this book will be of interest to engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working on the application of neural computing to structural mechanics and in particular finite element problems. It is accompanied by a voucher for a free software disk.
Optimization of Large Structural Systems
This is the second of two volumes which examine structural optimization of large structural systems. Topics covered in these volumes include optimality criteria and topology optimization, decomposition methods and approximation concepts, neural networks and parallel processing.
Optimization of Large Structural Systems
G.I.N. Rozvany ASI Director, Professor of Structural Design, FB 10, Essen University, Essen, Germany Structural optimization deals with the optimal design of all systems that consist, at least partially, of solids and are subject to stresses and deformations. This inte grated discipline plays an increasingly important role in all branches of technology, including aerospace, structural, mechanical, civil and chemical engineering as well as energy generation and building technology. In fact, the design of most man made objects, ranging from space-ships and long-span bridges to tennis rackets and artificial organs, can be improved considerably if human intuition is enhanced by means of computer...
Novel Design and Information Technology Applications for Civil and Structural Engineering
Contains a selection of papers presented at The Fifth International Conference on the Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Civil and Structural Engineering, held from 13-15 September 1999, at Oxford, England.
Geometry and Optimization Techniques for Structural Design
Attempts to expose the CAD community to the various islands of technology that constitute the design process. The text provides a comprehensive approach to structural design, including geometry representation for structural domains and automated techniques for finite element modelling.
