"Dramatic advances in the control of physical systems at the atomic scale have provided many new ways to manufacture devices. An important question is how best to design these ultra-small complex systems. Access to vast amounts of inexpensive computing power makes it possible to accurately simulate their physical properties. Furthermore, high-performance computers allow us to explore the large number of degrees of freedom with which to construct new device configurations. This book aims to lay the groundwork for a methodology to exploit these emerging capabilities using optimal device design. By combining applied mathematics, smart computation, physical modeling, and 21st century engineering and fabrication tools it is possible to find atomic and nano-scale configurations that result in components with performance characteristics that have not been achieved using other methods"--Provided by publisher.

Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) has recently emerged as a field of research and practice that brings together many previously disjointed disciplines and tools of engineering and mathematics. MDO can be described as a technology, environment, or methodology for the design of complex, coupled engineering systems, such as aircraft, automobiles, and other mechanisms, the behavior of which is determined by interacting subsystems.

Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Structural Design of the Technical Administrative Committee on Analysis and Computation of the Technical Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report documents the dramatic new developments in the field of structural optimization over the last two decades. Changes in both computational techniques and applications can be seen by developments in computational methods and solution algorithms, the role of optimization during the various stages of structural design, and the stochastic nature of design in relation to structural optimization. Topics include: Ømethods for discrete variable structural optimization; Ødecomposition methods in structural optimization; Østate of the art on the use of genetic algorithms in design of steel structures; Øconceptual design optimization of engineering structures; Øtopology and geometry optimization of trusses and frames; Øevolutionary structural optimization; Ødesign and optimization of semi-rigid framed structures; Øoptimized performance-based design for buildings; Ømulti-objective optimum design of seismic-resistant structures; and Øreliability- and cost-oriented optimal bridge maintenance planning. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography of journal papers on structural optimization published between 1987 and 1999.
