This book is an up-to-date source for computation applications of optimization, prediction via artificial intelligence methods, and evaluation of metaheuristic algorithm with different structural applications. As the current interest of researcher, metaheuristic algorithms are a high interest topic area since advance and non-optimized problems via mathematical methods are challenged by the development of advance and modified algorithms. The artificial intelligence (AI) area is also importa...

This book presents the result of an innovative challenge, to create a systematic literature overview driven by machine-generated content. This machine-generated volume, with chapter introductions by the human expert, of summaries of the existing studies furthers our understanding of the heuristic and metaheuristic optimization methods for structural engineering domain problems. It brings out nature inspired metaheuristic optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimi...

Today’s biggest structural engineering challenge is to design better structures, and a key issue is the need to take an integrated approach which balances control of costs with the requirement for handling earthquakes and other dynamic forces. Structural optimization is based on rigorous mathematical formulation and requires computation algorithms for sizing structural elements and synthesizing systems. Now that the right software and enough computing power are readily available, professio...

The Feature-Driven Method for Structural Optimization details a novel structural optimization method within a CAD framework, integrating structural optimization and feature-based design. The book presents cutting-edge research on advanced structures and introduces the feature-driven structural optimization method by regarding engineering features as basic design primitives. Consequently, it presents a method that allows structural optimization and feature design to be done simultaneously s...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of analytical methods for solving optimization problems, covering principles and mathematical techniques alongside numerical solution routines, including MAPLE and MAXIMA optimization routines. Each method is explained with practical applications and ANSYS APDL scripts for select problems. Chapters delve into topics such as scaling methods, torsion compliance, shape variation, topological optimization, anisotropic material properties, and differe...

The volume includes papers from the WSCMO conference in Braunschweig 2017 presenting research of all aspects of the optimal design of structures as well as multidisciplinary design optimization where the involved disciplines deal with the analysis of solids, fluids or other field problems. Also presented are practical applications of optimization methods and the corresponding software development in all branches of technology.

This volume contains 28 papers including 4 keynote papers presented at the 10th IFIP WG7.5 Working Conference, focusing on the reliability and optimization of structural systems.

"Omit needless words." That's the whole philosophy of this book in three words, and the other few thousand words just show you how to actually do it — when to use the active voice, why the passive voice buries your point, how to punctuate a sentence so it means what you intended, and why the shortest way to say something is usually the best one. No theory, no jargon, just rules a working writer can apply the same afternoon.First written by William Strunk Jr. for his own students, this is t...

The Elements of Style is a concise manual of English prose that distills grammar, usage, composition, and stylistic discipline into memorable rules and examples. Written in an aphoristic, classroom-ready style, it favors clarity, brevity, and exactness over ornament. Emerging from the early twentieth-century tradition of prescriptive rhetoric, the book reflects a pedagogical moment when efficient communication and standardized written English were increasingly valued in academic and profes...

This book serves as a complementary resource to the courses "Advanced structural optimization" and "Structural optimization in automotive engineering" taught by the author at the University of Siegen, North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany since 2001. Focusing on optimization problems in the field of structural engineering, this book offers a rigorous and analytical approach to problem-solving.Each chapter of the book begins with a brief overview of classical results and the derivation of...
