Introduction to Optimum Design, Fourth Edition
Arora, Jasbir S
Preference :
Introduction to Optimum Design, Fourth Edition presents an organized approach to optimizing the design of engineering systems. Basic concepts and procedures of optimization are illustrated with examples to show their applicability to engineering design problems. The crucial step of formulating a design optimization problem is detailed. The numerical process of refining an initial formulation of the optimization problem is illustrated and how to correct the initial formulation if it fails to produce a solution or does not produce an acceptable solution. This as well as other numerical aspects of the solution process for optimum design are consolidated in the chapter: Optimum Design: Numerical Solution Process and Excel Solver.
