The constrained geometry of structures : optimization methods for inverse form-finding design
This dissertation aims to improve form-finding workflows by giving more control on the obtained shapes to the designer. Traditional direct form-finding allows the designer to generate shapes for structures that need to verify a mechanical equilibrium when built; however, it produces shapes that are …

Modified inverse first-order reliability method (I-FORM) for predicting extreme sea states
… a sufficient period of record. The use of the inverse first-order reliability method (I-FORM) is standard design practice for generating environmental contours. This thesis develops enhanced methodologies for data analysis prior to the application of the I-FORM, including the use of principal …
