Nonconvex Optimization in Mechanics: Algorithms, Heuristics and Engineering Appl

Description: Nonconvex Optimization in Mechanics by Georgios E. Stavroulakis, E.S. Mistakidis Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In many cases of practical importance the possibilities offered by opti mization with its algorithms and heuristics can substantially improve the per formance and the range of applicability of classical computational mechanics algorithms. Publisher Description This book presents, in a comprehensive way, the application of optimization algorithms and heuristics in engineering problems involving smooth and nonsmooth energy potentials. These problems arise in real-life modelling of civil engineering and engineering mechanics applications. Engineers will gain an insight into the theoretical justification of their methods and will find numerous extensions of the classical tools proposed for the treatment of novel applications with significant practical importance. Applied mathematicians and software developers will find a rigorous discussion of the links between applied optimization and mechanics which will enhance the interdisciplinary development of new methods and techniques. Among the large number of concrete applications are unilateral frictionless, frictional or adhesive contact problems, and problems involving complicated friction laws and interface geometries which are treated by the application of fractal geometry. The book should be of interest to researchers in mechanics, civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineers, as well as applied mathematicians.It is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in computational mechanics, focusing on nonlinear and nonsmooth applications, and as a source of examples for courses in applied optimization.
