Synopsis
Introduction to Optimum Design, Third Edition 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 learnable
- Includes applications of optimization methods for structural, mechanical, aerospace, and industrial engineering problems
- Introduction to MATLAB Optimization Toolbox
- Practical design examples introduce students to the use of optimization methods early in the book
- New example problems throughout the text are enhanced with detailed illustrations
- Optimum design with Excel Solver has been expanded into a full chapter
- New chapter on several advanced optimum design topics serves the needs of instructors who teach more advanced courses

Seller: Bulrushed Books, Moscow, ID, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD. Seller Inventory # #179D-00151
