An Application of an Optimization Tool to Solve Problems of Mechanics of Materials

This paper presents a study about using computational tools applied to a particular problem of Mechanics of Materials. Our purpose is, on one hand, to solve a structural problem in order to teach the application of an optimization tool, such as Excel Solver, by means of the calculation of the minimu...
