Stability and Optimization of Structures: Generalized Sensitivity Analysis

by Makoto Ohsaki and Kiyohiro Ikeda

This book focuses on the optimization of a geometrically-nonlinear structure under stability constraint. It presents a deep insight into optimization-based and computer-assisted stability design of discrete structures. Coverage combines design sensitivity analysis developed in structural optimization and imperfection-sensitivity analysis developed in stability analysis.
