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 lesson1: Introduction: optimization problems in mechanical engineering
lesson2: Several examples of design optimization problems
lesson3: Classification of structural optimization problems
lesson4: Formulation of a design improvement problem as an optimization problem
lesson5: Numerical optimization techniques (1)
lesson6: Numerical optimization techniques (2)
lesson7: General constrained optimization techniques
lesson8: Multiobjective problems
lesson9: Genetic Algorithm and its application
lesson10: Approximation techniques and Design of Experiments
lesson11: Stochastic simulation and design optimization
lesson12: Topology optimization and its use in structural design
