Exercises and Solutions in Lightweight Design

This exercise book contains an extensive collection of exercises on the subject of lightweight design. In particular, the basics of strength theory, lightweight material design and lightweight shape design as well as sandwich elements are covered. The main focus is on limit stress and optimization of structures. The book is characterized by detailed masters solutions so that students on Bachelor's and Master's degree courses can easily understand the solutions. The work is therefore also ideally suited for self-study.
