The international conference on Optimization and Analysis of Structures dedicated to the aims at gather experts in the fields of Solid Mechanics, Fracture Mechanics, Material Science, also Applied Mathematics and the Theory of Optimization. Papers presented at the Conference are expected to focus on the fundamental and applied problems of the optimization and analysis of structures and dynamical systems. Original papers to be presented at the conference will cover but are not limited to the following topics: Shape and topology optimization Continuous optimization Stability, vibration Fracture mechanics Inelastic behaviour of materials and structures Blast and impact loading Composite and nano-materials Numerical methods High-performance computing
