aaec Network partner seminar
May 30, 2022 | 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
topic: structural optimization: theory to practice to theory
only accessible to network partners
- Monday, 30th of May 2022
- 4:00-6:00 p.m.
- Speaker: Dr. James Richardson
This talk will focus on my journey into the theory of structural optimization, how this theory inspired some practical applications, and how lessons learned informed further academic work. Specifically, research topics in topology optimization of truss-like structures will be discussed, and some practical applications will be shown and explained.
