Introduction to Optimum Design (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Arora's Introduction to Optimum Design is the most widely used textbook in engineering optimization and optimum design courses. It is intended for use in a first course on engineering design and optimization at the undergraduate or graduate level within engineering departments of all disciplines, but primarily within mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering. The basic approach of the text is to describe an organized approach to engineering design optimization in a rigorous yet simplified manner, illustrate various concepts and procedures with simple examples, and demonstrate 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. The fifth edition has been enhanced with new or expanded content in such areas as reliability-based optimization, life-cycle optimization of structures, metamodeling, shape and topology optimization, and combinatorial problems.

• Describes basic concepts of optimality conditions and numerical methods with simple and practical examples, making the material highly teachable and learnable
• Includes applications of optimization methods for structural, mechanical, aerospace, and industrial engineering problems
• Covers practical design examples and introduces students to the use of optimization methods
• Serves the needs of instructors who teach more advanced courses
• Features new or expanded content in such areas as reliability-based optimization, life-cycle optimization of structures, metamodeling, shape and topology optimization
