Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures Theory, Practice and Software
Shell-type structures can be found almost everywhere. They appear in natural forms but also as man-made, load-bearing components in diverse engineering systems. Mankind has struggled to replicate nature’s optimization of such structures but using modern computational tools it is now possible to anal...
