Nonlinear Optimization Applications Using the GAMS Technology

The book delves into the nonlinear behavior of thin-wall shells, both single and multilayered, particularly in the presence of delamination areas. It employs a numerical approach to investigate how these structures respond to different uniform and non-uniform loadings. Key aspects include the analysis of branching points and the construction of bifurcation paths, providing valuable insights into the stability and performance of these engineering materials under various conditions.
