Approximation concepts for efficient structural synthesis

摘要: It is shown that efficient structural synthesis capabilities can be created by using approximation concepts to mesh finite element analysis methods with nonlinear mathematical programming techniques. The history of the application techniques design optimization problems reviewed. Several rather general are described along technical foundations ACCESS 1 computer program, which implements several concepts. A substantial collection involving truss and idealized wing structures presented. concluded since basic ideas employed in creating program general, its successful development supports contention introduction will lead emergence a new generation practical efficient, large scale, algorithms play central role.
