In recent decades, it has become possible to turn the design
process into computer algorithms. By applying different computer
oriented methods the topology and shape of structures can be
optimized and thus designs systematically improved. These
possibilities have stimulated an interest in the mathematical
foundations of structural optimization. The challenge of this book
is to bridge a gap between a rigorous mathematical approach to
variational problems and the practical use of algorithms of
structural optimization in engineering applications. The
foundations of structural optimization are presented in a
sufficiently simple form to make them available for practical use
and to allow their critical appraisal for improving and adapting
these results to specific models. Special attention is to pay to
the description of optimal structures of composites; to deal with
this problem, novel mathematical methods of nonconvex calculus of
variation are developed. The exposition is accompanied by examples.
