Improving the efficiency of structures using mechanics concepts

The efficiency of a structure defines the relationship between its performance and cost. Studies of structural efficiency will inevitably lead to improved structural performance and/or reduced material consumption. There are various routes to achieve more efficient structures, and the use of mechani...
