Description
Summary:This book investigates the various aspects of shape optimization of twodimensional continuum structures, in- cluding shape design sensitivity analysis, structural analysis using the boundary element method (BEM), and shape optimization implementation. The aim is to provide the readers with a general view of practical shape optimization technique, as well as the current research. Two new techniques for shape design sensitivity analysis are described in detail. This book can be used for students of design engineering (civil and mechanical) as an introduction book for optimum design. Because this book provides a large number of references on shape optimization and some new techniques for the numerical optimization techniques, it can also be useful for researchers who are interested in optimum design.
