Nonconvex optimization in mechanics : algorithms, heuristics, and engineering applications by the F.E.M. /

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 modeling of civil engineering and engineering mechanics applications. Engineers will gain...
