Optimal Structural Design

Optimal Structural DesignThis 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.
