Riassunto:

The meeting's subject covers a wide range of topics in engineering optimization, concerning research proce- dures and applications. This book will also contribute new ideas and concepts in a world of ever decreasing natural resources and an ever increasing demand for lighter yet stronger and safer technical components. The contributions in this volume can be grouped under the following five main topics: - Shape and layout optimization - Structural optimization with advanced materials - Optimal designs with special structural and material behaviour - Sensitivity program systems - Optimization with stability constraints - special problems
