Introduction to Optimum Design 3e describes an organized approach to engineering design optimization in a rigorous yet simplified manner. It illustrates various concepts and procedures with simple examples and demonstrates their applicability to engineering design problems. Formulation of a design problem as an optimization problem is emphasized and illustrated throughout the text. Excel and MATLAB® are featured as learning and teaching aids. Basic concepts of optimality conditions and numerical methods are described with simple and practical examples, making the material highly teachable and learnableIncludes applications of optimization methods for structural, mechanical, aerospace, and industrial engineering problemsIntroduction to MATLAB Optimization ToolboxPractical design examples introduce students to the use of optimization methods early in the bookNew example problems throughout the text are enhanced with detailed illustrationsOptimum design with Excel Solver has been expanded into a full chapterNew chapter on several advanced optimum design topics serves the needs of instructors who teach more advanced courses INDICE: Part 1: THE BASIC CONCEPTS 1 Introduction to Design Optimization 2 Optimum Design Problem Formulation 3 Graphical Optimization and Basic Concepts 4 Optimum Design Concepts: Optimality Conditions 5 More on Optimum Design Concepts: Optimality Conditions Part 2: NUMERICAL METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS VARIABLE OPTIMIZATION 6 Optimum Design with Excel Solver 7 Optimum Design with MATLAB 8 Linear Programming Methods for Optimum Design 9 More on Linear Programming Methods 10 Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimum Design 11 More on Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimum Design 12 Numerical Methods for Constrained Optimum Design 13 More on Numerical Methods for Constrained Optimum Design 14 Practical Applications of Optimization Part 3: ADVANCED AND MODERN TOPICS ON OPTIMUM DESIGN 15 Discrete Variable Optimum Design Concepts and Methods 16 Genetic Algorithms for Optimum Design 17 Multi-objective Optimum Design Concepts and Methods 18 Global Optimization Concepts and Methods 19 Nature-Inspired Search Methods 20 Additional Topics on Optimum Design Appendix A: Vector and Matrix Algebra Appendix B: Sample Computer Programs Bibliography Answers to Selected Exercises Index
