Class Objectives
/Class Outline This series of lecture consists of three parts. The first one is on the fundamental theory of optimization for mechanical engineering. The second one is the optimization techniques and their engineering applications. The third one is on the optimization problems in elasto-plasticity field such as design optimization for metal forming process, structural design optimization, material parameter identification and so on.
In this lecture, special emphasize is placed on the optimization in engineering elasto-plasticity. Some parts of this lecture will be taught by a foreign visiting professor as an intensive course.

Class Schedule 1. Introduction: optimization problems in mechanical engineering
2. Several examples of design optimization problems
3. Classification of structural optimization problems
4. Formulation of a design improvement problem as an optimization problem
5. Numerical optimization techniques (1)
6. Numerical optimization techniques (2)
7. General constrained optimization techniques
8. Multiobjective problems
9. Genetic Algorithm and its application
10. Approximation techniques and Design of Experiments
11. Stochastic simulation and design optimization
12. Topology optimization and its use in structural design
13. Process optimization in metal forming (1)
14. Process optimization in metal forming (2)
15. Material parameter identification
