Function minimization methods in structural analysis and optimum design are discussed. A computer program which implements the energy search method of nonlinear finite element analysis is presented. Several recent weight optimization methods based on finite element analysis are reviewed. Special characteristics of the finite element method relevant to automated design are identified. Some efficient approximate analysis methods for optimization applications are explored. Applications of some of these methods to plane frames and finite-deflection trusses are presented.

The discrete element energy search method of structural analysis is extended to predicting the geometrically nonlinear behavior of plate and shell type structures. Numerical results for example problems exhibiting nonlinear bending-membrane coupling and stable post-buckling behavior are presented. The results of a laboratory type experimental program, designed to provide data for comparison with analytical behavior predictions, are reported. It is shown that displacement patterns formed from products of one-dimensional interpolation functions can be used to generate a useful class of shell discrete elements, including geometric nonlinearity. These conforming elements can be joined together at arbitrary angles, although the current computer program is limited to tangential and right angle joining. While the major portion of this research program was based upon the principle of minimum potential energy, a rectangular plate discrete element exhibiting bending membrane coupling is developed within the Reissner energy framework. Energy search methods of structural analysis based on potential energy formulations and gradient minimization algorithms are found to be computationally competitive with conventional solution procedures.

Download Optimization and Artificial Intelligence in Civil and Structural Engineering Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This volume and its companion volume includes the edited versions of the principal lectures and selected papers presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Optimization and Decision Support Systems in Civil Engineering. The Institute was held in the Department of Civil Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh from June 25th to July 6th 1989 and was attended by eighty participants from Universities and Research Institutes around the world. A number of practising civil and structural engineers also attended. The lectures and papers have been divided into two volumes to reflect the dual themes of the Institute namely Optimization and Decision Support Systems in Civil Engineering. Planning for this ASI commenced in late 1986 when Andrew Templeman and I discussed developments in the use of the systems approach in civil engineering. A little later it became clear that much of this approach could be realised through the use of knowledge-based systems and artificial intelligence techniques. Both Don Grierson and John Gero indicated at an early stage how important it would be to include knowledge-based systems within the scope of the Institute. The title of the Institute could have been: 'Civil Engineering Systems' as this would have reflected the range of systems applications to civil engineering problems considered by the Institute. These volumes therefore reflect the full range of these problems including: structural analysis and design; water resources engineering; geotechnical engineering; transportation and environmental engineering.
