Wherever a choice among alternatives exists, optimization takes place: in everyday life, in economics, politics, in nature and also in engineering. The availability of powerful computers makes it possible to solve complex optimization problems efficiently, and to react flexibly to changed requirements. The book addresses the potential of the systematic, computer-aided approach to optimization problems. The presentations include fundamental principles and practical applications to aerospace structures as well as evolution techniques and biotechnological optimization processes.
The "Three Columns" for Treating Problems in Optimum Structural Design -- Methods of Mathematical Optimization -- Multidisciplinary Optimization for Engineering Systems: Achievements and Potential -- Optimization of Axially Compressed Fiber Composite Cylindrical Shells -- Structural Optimization of Aircraft -- Evolution Strategy: Nature's Way of Optimization -- Computer Aided Protein Design: Method and Applications -- The Quest for the Best. On the Responsibility of Scientists and Engineers.
