Descamps, Benoît,
Computational design of lightweight structures : form finding and optimization / [electronic resource] Benoît Deschamps. - 1 online resource (xxiii, 136 pages) : illustrations. - FOCUS Series . - Focus nanoscience and nanotechnology series. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Truss Layout Optimization / Benoît Descamps -- Unified Formulation / Benoît Descamps -- Stability Considerations / Benoît Descamps -- Structural Design Applications / Benoît Descamps -- Conclusions and Future Prospects.
"This book presents a computational method for the preliminary shape design of lightweight structures. The strategy relies on fundamental concepts of structural design to formulate an optimization problem combining the theories of mathematical programming and structural mechanics. The method considers many design settings including stress and displacement constraints, self-weight, multiple loading conditions and structural stability considerations. In addition, the conceptual framework is well suited to accommodate project-specific constraints."--Preface.
