In a global climate where engineers are increasingly under pressure to make the most of limited resources, there are huge potential financial and environmental
The first optimal design problem for an elastic column subject to buckling was formulated by Lagrange over 200 years ago. However, rapid development of structur
The author offers a systematic and careful development of many aspects of structural optimization, particularly for beams and plates. Some of the results are ne
