Am Montag, 01. August 2011 findet um 13.15 Uhr in der TUHH, Eißendorfer Strasse 42, Gebäude M, Raum 1582 ein Vortrag von Prof. Mike Xie, RMIT University Melbourne, Australia zum Konstruktiven Ingenieurbau statt:
Creating Efficient and Innovative Structures Using Evolutionary opology Optimization Techniques
Innovative and efficient structural designs may be achieved by using topological optimization techniques that are capable of maximizing the performance of the structural system and minimising its weight. The evolutionary structural optimisation (ESO) method has been well developed for this purpose. ESO is based on the simple concept of gradually removing inefficient material from a structure or redistributing the underutilised material to the most needed locations. Such a simple but universally applicable technique can be used to not only significantly reduce the weight and the associated energy consumption of motor vehicles and aircraft but also produce strikingly elegant structural designs of buildings and bridges. Recent developments of ESO and its applications to conceptual designs of structures such as buildings and footbridges are presented.
Prof. Mike Xie is Head of Civil Engineering discipline at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). He is one of the pioneers of the Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) method. The ESO techniques developed by Professor Xie and his team have been widely used by many researchers and practitioners around the world. He has published two books on topological optimization, one with Springer-Verlag in 1997 and another with John Wiley & Sons in 2010. He has been retained as a specialist consultant to various engineering and architectural firms.
