Review

`As far as the reviewer's knowledge goes, this textbook is the first one to deal with the principles of optimization in a unified manner for a possible extension to other fields.'
Applied Mechanics Review, 39:6 (1986)
`The authors have placed an emphasis on capturing the essence of the most important concepts and algorithms in structural optimization. They have presented the material in a manner suitable for advanced senior and graduate students, particularly those studying civil, mechanical, automotive and aerospace engineering.'
Inspec Science Abstracts (November 1985)
--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written introductory book on structural optimization., April 3, 2000
By A Customer
This is a well written book on engineering optimization in general and on structural optimization particularly.

Although the book requires basic structures' analysis background (e.g., FEA and strength of materials) the optimization concepts are written in a clear and concise manner. Plenty of practical examples are given in each chapter to present the "application" of various optimization methods. Optimization of both constrained and unconstrained problems are shown with emphasis on the variable types involved (i.e. continous, discreet)

A good book for someone getting started on structural optimization and a good quick reference book afterwards.
