Isogeometric Optimal Design

Description

Presents a unified approach for combining CAD, CAE, sensitivity analysis, and optimization, helping readers to understand the theories of the isogeometric finite element method and shape optimization systematically and accurately.

- Presents an emerging concept connecting the research topics of Isogeometric Analysis and Shape Optimal Design
- Imparts the ability to integrate the computational description of design with computational analysis tools within a single unified framework
- Written by authors at the cutting edge of research and application, as well as a top expert in sensitivity analysis
- Spans fundamentals of optimization and analysis in addition to providing concrete application examples
- Includes sample codes within the book implementing both Isogeometric Analysis and Isogeometric Shape Optimization as an accompaniment to the examples given.
