Applications to Car Bodies :Generalized Layout Design of Three-Dimensional Shells

  • Chapter
Optimization of Large Structural Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 231))

Abstract

We shall describe applications of the homogenization method, formulated in Part 1, to design layout of car bodies represented by three-dimensional shell structures based on a multi-loading optimization.
