Synopsis

Shape Optimization is a classical field of the calculus of variations, optimal control theory and structural optimization. In this book the authors discuss the shape calculus introduced by J. Hadamard and extend it to a broad class of free boundary value problems. The approach is functional analytic throughout and will serve as an excellent basis for the development of numerical algorithms for the solution of shape optimization problems.

Product Description

This book presents modern functional analytic methods for the sensitivity analysis of some infinite-dimensional systems governed by partial differential equations. The main topics are treated in a general and systematic way. They include many classical applications such as the Signorini Problem, the elastic-plastic torsion problem and the visco-elastic-plastic problem. The "material derivative" from which any kind of shape derivative of a cost functional can be derived is defined. New results about the wave equation and the unilateral problem are also included in this book. It will serve as a fundamental reference for the algorithmic approach to shape optimization problems.
