Configurational forces in structural and continuum optimisation

This thesis deals with optimisation using the principles of continuum mechanics. Both shape and mesh optimisation will be covered. A unified approach will be introduced to obtain shape and mesh optimisation for hyperelastic, hyperelastodynamic and hyperelastoplastic settings. The approach makes use...
