Homogenization and Structural Topology Optimization

Structural topology optimization is a fast growing field that is finding numerous applications in automotive aerospace and mechanical design processes. Homogenization is a mathematical theory with applications in several engineering problems that are governed by partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients <B>Homogenization and Structural Topology Optimization</B> brings the two concepts together and successfully bridges the previously overlooked gap between the mathematical theory and the practical implementation of the homogenization method. The book is presented in a unique self-teaching style that includes numerous illustrative examples figures and detailed explanations of concepts. The text is divided into three parts which maintains the book's reader-friendly appeal.
