Abstract:SUMMARYA family of numerical methods and algorithms targeted to the optimization of physically non-linear structures is proposed. The structures are described using ÿnite element approach, they are supposed to be loaded by single static loading. It is assumed that various types of ÿnite elements are used for the description. Buckling e ects are neglected. Sizing design variables with prescribed lower limits are considered. The numerical approach is based on the use of physically non-linear hyperelastic (PNH) m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
