Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 

Design problems in computational mechanics naturally give rise to 'shape and topology 
optimization problems' where the objective is to construct an optimal shape and topology 
of designs that maximize certain objectives under a set of constraints. This mini-symposium 
seeks contributions on the underlying mathematics, new formulations, efficient algorithms and 
novel applications of shape and topology optimization.
