Practical examples of structural optimization techniques offer important advantages to design of aircraft, analysis of automotive, civil and mechanical engineering. Computer-aided structural design is enhanced by adding optimization software; by linking both techniques, integrated packages for structural optimization are obtained. This book contains the proceedings of the fourth Conference on Computer Aided Design of Structures, held in Florida during September 1995.
