Editorial Reviews
Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is a design method based on the simple concept of gradually removing inefficient material from a structure as it is being designed. Through this method, the resulting structure will evolve towards its optimum shape. The latest techniques and results of ESO are presented here, illustrated by numerous clear and detailed examples. Sections cover the fundamental aspects of the method, the application to multiple load cases and multiple support environments, frequency optimization, stiffness and displacement constraints, buckling, jointed frame structures, shape optimization, and stress reduction. This is followed by a section describing Evolve97, a software package which will allow readers to try the ideas of ESO themselves and to solve their optimization problems. This software is provided on a computer diskette which accompanies the book.

"Thanks for writing such an interesting and inspiring book", Professor Scott Burns, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who is the Associate Editor for the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering, handling all of the papers on structural optimization.

"From another viewpoint on topology optimization we also recommend the most stimulating book, Evolutionary Structural Optimization", Professor Ernest Hinton, University College of Swansea, U.K., who is the co-author of a recent book entitled 'Homogenization and Structural Topology Optimization'.

"This book is a most interesting and innovative addtion to the literature on structural mechanics. It will find a place in all design office libraries where structural efficiency is being studied to improve the component, whether it be a machine part, a structural member of an aircraft or any other system where stress, weight and cost are important. This is a pioneering book, well worth reading by the serious student or practitioner in the field of structural mechanics", Professor John Meek, University of Queensland, Australia, who is the author of a book entitled 'Computer Methods in Structural Analysis'.
