Nonconvexity and nonsmoothness arise in a large class of
engineering applica tions. In many cases of practical importance
the possibilities offered by opti mization with its algorithms and
heuristics can substantially improve the per formance and the range
of applicability of classical computational mechanics algorithms.
For a class of problems this approach is the only one that really
works. The present book presents in a comprehensive way the
application of opti mization algorithms and heuristics in smooth
and nonsmooth mechanics. The necessity of this approach is
presented to the reader through simple, represen tative examples.
As things become more complex, the necessary material from convex
and nonconvex optimization and from mechanics are introduced in a
self-contained way. Unilateral contact and friction problems,
adhesive contact and delamination problems, nonconvex
elastoplasticity, fractal friction laws, frames with semi rigid
connections, are among the applications which are treated in
details here. Working algorithms are given for each application and
are demonstrated by means of representative examples. The
interested reader will find helpful references to up-to-date
scientific and technical literature so that to be able to work on
research or engineering topics which are not directly covered
here."
