Résumé

When working out the safety and cost of a structure in the mechanical, civil or aerospace engineering fields, one needs to establish the minimum reliable dimensions for the structure. This book describes a simple non-destructive method for finding the optimal correlation of the dimensions.

Why has optimization remained a challenging problem? Because the solution of the problem of the optimization of structures requires revisions to the linear theory of elasticity. Such revisions are presented in this book. The book considers the logical structure, the mathematical apparatus and the physical basis for a more satisfactory theory. The resulting non-linear theory of elasticity provides a new foundation for structural design in the 21st Century.

This book is recommended for practicing engineers, researchers, students of engineering, as well as for readers who are interested in the methodology of science.
