Optimal Structural Design: Contact Problems and High-Speed Penetration

Optimal Structural Design: Contact Problems and High-Speed Penetration

A detailed presentation of applications of structural optimization techniques Considers two concrete problems in contact mechanics and high-speed penetration Both the analytical and the numerical aspects of the considered problems are covered

Aims and Scope

This monograph studies optimization problems for rigid punches in elastic media and for high-speed penetration of rigid strikers into deformed elastoplastic, concrete, and composite media using variational calculations, tools from functional analysis, and stochastic and min-max (guaranteed) optimization approaches with incomplete data. The book presents analytical and numerical results developed by the authors during the last ten years.
