Chapter 3 of the dissertation is concerned with methods to suppress local and global instability of least-weight structures. Per-forated webs placed between structural members, structural member shape optimization and light-weight foam inserts are methods investi-gated in the research to address the instability problems. Simply supported least-weight arch beams were designed and mechanically tested. The experimental results were compared with FEA. In Chapter 4 matrix operator methods used to generate optimal layouts with straight boundaries were extended to include curved boundaries. A program previously written to solve straight boundary problems was generalized to generate layouts for cantilevers with curved boundaries by using this method. In Chapter 5 the design of an arch structure with a continuous profiled-thickness web was analyzed. In Chapter 6 optimal layouts with 2 and 3-bar trusses were investigated for two alternate loading cases. A program was written to determine the mini-mum-weight from alternative structures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584660226199,"sku":"9783639010985","price":6271.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639010985.webp?v=1774957400","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/design-of-optimal-product-structures-9783639010985","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
