This chapter provides an introduction to the topic of judging the lightweight potential of structures. Two different concepts, i.e. the so-called lightweight index and the specific energy absorption, are discussed. The basic idea of shape optimization is discussed in the context of one-dimensional structural members, i.e., bars and beams, and one- and two design variables are considered.

A Short Introduction to the Shape Optimization of Structures

  • Andreas Öchsner

摘要

This chapter provides an introduction to the topic of judging the lightweight potential of structures. Two different concepts, i.e. the so-called lightweight index and the specific energy absorption, are discussed. The basic idea of shape optimization is discussed in the context of one-dimensional structural members, i.e., bars and beams, and one- and two design variables are considered.
