Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization Dynamic Analysis and Control Techniques

Formulation of an optimal dynamic structural system design problem requires identification of design variables that describe the structural system, a cost function that needs to be minimized, and performance and safety constraints for the system. The formulation of the problem depends upon the type of application and objectives to be achieved, i.e., the shape, the sizing, or topology design problem. Specific design variable definition, cost of function and constraints are dictated by the application. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of the general methods involved in this broadly fundamental problem and provides essential techniques in specific but pervasive structural dynamic systems elements and their optimization.Leondes, Cornelius T. is the author of 'Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization Dynamic Analysis and Control Techniques', published 1999 under ISBN 9789056996581 and ISBN 9056996584.
