Features: This book primarily elaborates on the commonly used optimization methods in mechanical optimization design, focusing on the 0.618 method and quadratic interpolation method in one-dimensional optimization, the Powell conjugate direction method and variable metric method in unconstrained optimization, as well as the constrained random direction method, composite shape method, and penalty function method in constrained optimization. For ease of learning, the second chapter introduces the necessary mathematical foundations. The book includes practical programs in BASIC and C languages for various optimization methods, along with answers to exercises, to facilitate hands-on practice and reference for readers to master the writing and application of optimization algorithm programs. The book also provides a brief introduction to the processing methods of commonly used numerical tables, line charts, and numerical differentiation methods in optimization program design, along with corresponding reference programs. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and junior college students majoring in mechanical engineering, as well as a learning and reference material for engineering technicians engaged in mechanical design.
