Out of 100 hours of engineering work, only 20 are dedicated to real engineering and 80 are
spent on what is considered as routine activities. Readjusting the ratio of innovative vs …

Although sensitivity analysis provides valuable information for structural optimization, it is
often difficult to use the Hessian in large models since many methods still suffer from …

The main difficulty with the use of mathematical programming for structural optimization
problems in which the structural form is specific is the formulation of constraints, such as …

Manufacturing composite laminates made of epoxy resin matrix and long carbon fibers is
divided into several operations. The most critical one is the cross-linking stage of the …
