An efficiency assessment of selected unconstrained minimization techniques as applied to nonlinear structure analyses
This thesis seeks to identify the potential for the unconstrained minimization algorithms of mathematical programming to be cost-effective with the conventional techniques of nonlinear structural analysis. With this in mind, the author has attempted to critically evaluate a few of the more commonly...
