Features: Synopsis Based on the previous two editions, this book has been adjusted in terms of the order of some chapters according to the development of the discipline of mechanical optimization design in recent years and the teaching needs of the course. Additionally, some highly practical content has been added. On one hand, the book clarifies the basic concepts, theories, and mathematical foundations of mechanical optimization design. On the other hand, it introduces various commonly used optimization methods. These methods include: grid method, golden section method, quadratic interpolation method, and cubic interpolation method for one-dimensional optimization; coordinate rotation method, Powell method, gradient method, Newton method, DFP variable metric method, and BFGS variable metric method for unconstrained optimization; constrained coordinate rotation method, constrained random direction method, composite method, feasible direction method, penalty function method, and Lagrange multiplier method for constrained optimization; linear programming and simplex method; optimization methods for multi-objective functions and discrete variable problems, etc. The book also provides several examples of mechanical optimization design, with examples and exercises in most chapters. At the end of the book, there are BASIC language programs and C language program packages for commonly used optimization methods. This book is primarily used as a textbook for relevant majors in higher engineering colleges, and it can also serve as a self-study textbook or reference book for related engineering technicians.
