This book proposes and validates a number of methods and shortcuts
for frugal engineers, which will allow them to significantly reduce
the computational costs for analysis and reanalysis and, as a
result, for structural design processes. The need for accuracy and
speed in analyzing structural systems with ever-tighter design
tolerances and larger numbers of elements has been relentlessly
driving forward research into methods that are capable of analyzing
structures at a reasonable computational cost. The methods
presented are of particular value in situations where the analysis
needs to be repeated hundreds or even thousands of times, as is the
case with the optimal design of structures using different
metaheuristic algorithms. Featuring methods that are not only
applicable to skeletal structures, but by extension also to
continuum models, this book will appeal to researchers and
engineers involved in the computer-aided analysis and design of
structures, and to software developers in this field. It also
serves as a complement to previous books on the optimal analysis of
large-scale structures utilizing concepts of symmetry and
regularity. Further, its novel application of graph-theoretical
methods is of interest to mathematicians.
