With Mechanics of Optimal Structural Design, David Rees brings the original approach of weight optimization to the existing structural design literature, providing a methodology for attaining minimum weight of a range of structures under their working loads. He addresses the current gap in education between formal structural design teaching at undergraduate level and the pracLightweight constructionStructural optimizationLightweight construction.Structural optimization.624.1771693Rees D.
