Structural shape optimization of three dimensional finite element models
<p>The thesis presents a three dimensional shape optimization program which analyzes models made up of linear isoparametric elements. The goal of the program is to achieve a near uniform model stress state and thereby to minimize material volume.</p> <p> The algorithm is iterat...
