Applications of Artificial Neural Nets in Structural Mechanics

  • Chapter
Shape and Layout Optimization of Structural Systems and Optimality Criteria Methods

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 325))

Abstract

A brief introduction to the fundamentals of Neural Nets is given first, followed by two applications in structural optimization. In the first case the feasibility of simulating with neural nets the many structural analyses performed during optimization iterations was studied. In the second case the concept of using neural nets to capture design expertese was investigated.
