Golden Zephyr by Nagarjuna
G.I.N. Rozvany ASI Director, Professor of Structural Design, FB 10, Essen University, Essen, Germany Structural optimization deals with the optimal design of all systems that consist, at least partially, of solids and are subject to stresses and deformations. This inte- grated discipline plays an increasingly important role in all branches of technology, including aerospace, structural, mechanical, civil and chemical engineering as well as energy generation and building technology. In fact, the design of most man- made objects, ranging from space-ships and long-span bridges to tennis rackets and artificial organs, can be improved considerably if human intuition is enhanced by means of computer-aided, systematic decisions. In analysing highly complex structural systems in practice, discretization is un- avoidable because closed-form analytical solutions are only available for relatively simple, idealized problems. To keep discretization errors to a minimum, it is de- sirable to use a relatively large number of elements. Modern computer technology enables us to analyse systems with many thousand degrees of freedom. In the optimization of structural systems, however, most currently available methods are restricted to at most a few hundred variables or a few hundred active constraints.
Lama Mipham (1846-1912), a great Nyingma lama, was a major contributor to the ecumenical (Rime) movement that stimulated a revival of study and practice across Tibet. His commentaries on Indian root texts and other works are a major feature of study in Tibetan lineages up to today. Tarthang Tulku, Rinpoche is Tibetan lama born in Golok, in Eastern Tibet. He left Tibet for exile in India in 1958. While a refugee in India Rinpoche taught at Sanskrit University, Varanasi, and began reprinting endangered Tibetan texts. In 1968 he moved to the United States where he has lived and worked ever since. Rinpoche has founded more than 20 organizations, preserving and promoting Buddhist wisdom both in Asia and in the West. Tarthang Tulku is the author of more than two dozen books, including Gesture of Balance; Time, Space, and Knowledge- A New Vision of Reality; Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga; Skillful Means, Revelations of Mind, and Caring.
