Publisher's Synopsis
Optimization Methods for Finite Element Analysis and Design describes recent developments in Finite Element Methods (FEM). It gives a brief introduction of the applications of AI-based nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms and Machine Learning (ML) at various stages of FEM. The book covers a range of state-of-the-art application areas including medical equipment, structural analysis and machinery products.It explores the applications of optimization and ML techniques in mesh smoothing, quality improvement and Laplacian and Taubin smoothing. The book also discusses the optimization of cable nets and steel frames using nature-inspired metaheuristic methods.
