    Ch1 OPT Introduction 1

    Uploaded by

    This chapter introduces the overall process of designing systems and distinguishes between engineering design and engineering analysis. It outlines the conventional design process versus the optimum design process. The optimum design process uses optimization methods to modify the design when initial criteria are not met, while the conventional process modifies the design based on experience. Finally, it distinguishes between optimum design, which finds an optimal static design given variables and constraints, and optimal control, which finds an optimal dynamic system.

    Design Process

    Engineering Design vs. Engineering Analysis


    Analysis
    Given: (Designed) System Find: Performance/Responses Sol: Analyze Test/Evaluate Report performance

    Design
    Given: Performance/Responses Find: (Designed) System Sol: Analyze Test/Evaluate Check acceptability (feasibility)

    Conventional vs. Optimum Design Process


    Conventional
    Identify: 1) Design variables 2) Objective Function (Cost Function) 3) Constraints Collect data Collect data Estimate Initial Design Analyze Analyze Check criteria (Constraints/ Targets) Meet? No Modify design by experience Yes Stop Meet (convergence)? No Modify design by Optimization methods Check criteria (Constraints/ Targets) Yes Stop Estimate Initial Design
