This review is from: Numerical optimization techniques for engineering design
VR&D is offering the well known optimization text book written by Dr. Gary Vanderplaats. This eminently readable book is widely used in both academic and industrial environments. This hard bound volume is the 4th edition and includes CD's with software.
"The concept of optimization is intrinsically tied to humanity's desire to excel. Though we may not consciously recognize it and though the optimization process takes different forms in different fields of endeavor, this drive to do better than before consumes much of our energy, whether we are athletes, artists, business-persons, or engineers. The field we are concerned with is that of engineering and, while the emphasis here is on mechanical, aeronautical, automotive and civil engineering, this is by no means the limit of applicability; it simply reflects my own experience and interest." Chapter 1: Basic Concepts Chapter 2: Functions of one variable Chapter 3: Unconstrained Functions of N Variables Chapter 4: Constrained Functions of N Variables: Linear Programming Chapter 5: Constrained Functions of N Variables: Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Techniques Chapter 6: Constrained Functions of N Variables: Direct Methods Chapter 7: Approximation Techniques Chapter 8: Duality Chapter 9: Discrete Variable Optimization and Multi-Objective Optimization Chapter 10: Structural Optimization Chapter 11: General Design Applications and Multidiscipline Design Optimization Appendix A: Optimization Software
