A Primer on Michell’s Optimality Conditions
Lecture Topics: Maxwell number; Michell number; Load path; Hencky nets; constructions of optimal structures.
These lectures have already been used while collaborating with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill(SOM) to inspire their engineers and architects by providing geometric implications of optimal structures.
