Optimization of Structural Topology, Shape, and Material

Optimization of Structural Topology, Shape, and Material by Martin P. Bendsoe.

In the past, the possibilities of structural optimization were restricted to an optimal choice of profiles and shape. Further improvement can be obtained by selecting appropriate advanced materials and by optimizing the topology, i.e. finding the best position and arrangment of structural elements w...
