Michell structures / Tomasz Lewiński, Tomasz Sokół, Cezary Graczykowski.

The book covers the theory of Michell structures being the lightest and fully stressed systems of bars, designed within a given domain, possibly within the whole space, transmitting a given load towards a given support. Discovered already in 1904 by A.G.M. Michell, the structures named after him hav...
