Effectively, while design optimization makes use ofgenetic algorithms, simulated annealing, swarm optimization, etc. since about half acentury with an increasing interest, these techniques are being used in structural analysissince a decade only.Total Potential Optimization using Meta-heuristic Algorithms (TPO/MA), thoughbeing an emerging method at the moment, has proved to be very efficient in solvingnonlinear problems, involving both material and geometric nonlinearities. Thecapabilities of the method in treating under-constrained problems and problems with nonuniquesolutions are much more advanced than the classical methods including the wellknownFinite Element Method.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Nova Science Publishers, Inc.</dc:publisher><dc:date>2013</dc:date><dc:type>Book Chapter</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/12372</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>978-162417637-1</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Heuristics: Theory and Applications</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://bayburt-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/bayburt/12372</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
