DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Jasbir Singh Arora is an F. Jasbir Singh Arora is an F. Wendell Miller Professor of Engineering, a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and a Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Iowa. Arora is the Associate Director of the Center for Computer Aided Design. Dr. . Arora
Formulation of a design problem as an optimization problem is emphasized and illustrated throughout the text. It illustrates various concepts and procedures with simple examples and demonstrates their applicability to engineering design problems. Introduction to Optimum Design, Third Edition describes an organized approach to engineering design optimization in a rigorous yet simplified manner. 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
Arora’s Introduction to Optimum Design, 2nd Ed…The strength of this book lies in his attention to detail using numeric exercises to demonstrate the numerical processes used in the various optimization methods. The application exercises presented cover a broad range in technologies, which makes it a good textbook for any engineering discipline." - Tom R. It includes a good balance of theory and application. I particularly like his choice of nomenclature throughout the book, as it conforms to the standard symbols and function names used in classical optimization literature. Thompson, Graduate Program Director, University of Cincinnati"I have used several optmization books over the past 10 years to support my various graduate optimization courses. As an educator, Dr. Of all the books that I have used, I prefer Dr. Arora presented significant amounts of material in a clear and straightforward manner. Mincer, California State Unive
fed_engineer said Review of Introduction to Optimum Design. This is an excellent introductory design optimization textbook. The book is orientedtoward engineers, rather than mathematicians. It contains adequate theory, but is notoverwhelming to read. Most necessary mathematical topics are discussed in separatesections and Appendices. The reader should possess a basic knowledge of calculus, linearalgebra, and statistical methods.A variety of optimization problems and techniques are discussed. Solution techniquesusing Excel or Matlab are presented.There is sufficient quantity and depth of material for undergraduate or graduatelevel courses. Recommended.. Ehnot the greatest book in the world sharpie22 Not a super useful book. The index is not labeled very well either to find each topic, I probably wouldn't have bought it in retrospect. Better resources online for these topics.. Five Stars Very good and looks like new
