Finite Element Approximation for Optimal Shape, Material and Topology Design

by J. Haslinger and Pekka Neittaanmäki

The goal in optimal shape design is to computerize the design process for structural systems by determining the shape of the structure. The mathematical basis of optimal shape design, finite element approximation and numerical realization by the application of optimization techniques, are the subject of this book. Additions to this second, revised edition include CAD examples and engineering applications, development of computational aspects such as design sensitivity analysis and algorithmization, and contact shape optimization.
