Singiresu S. Rao

Technology/Engineering/Mechanical Helps you move from theory to optimizing engineering systems inalmost any industryNow in its Fourth Edition, Professor Singiresu Rao's acclaimedtext Engineering Optimization enables readers to quickly master andapply all the important optimization methods in use today across abroad range of industries. Covering both the latest and classicaloptimization methods, the text starts off with the basics and thenprogressively builds to advanced principles and applications.This comprehensive text covers nonlinear, linear, geometric,dynamic, and stochastic programming techniques as well as morespecialized methods such as multiobjective, genetic algorithms,simulated annealing, neural networks, particle swarm optimization,ant colony optimization, and fuzzy optimization. Each method ispresented in clear, straightforward language, making even the moresophisticated techniques easy to grasp. Moreover, the authorprovides:Case examples that show how each method is applied to solvereal-world problems across a variety of industriesReview questions and problems at the end of each chapter toengage readers in applying their newfound skills and knowledgeExamples that demonstrate the use of MATLAB® for thesolution of different types of practical optimization problemsReferences and bibliography at the end of each chapter forexploring topics in greater depthAnswers to Review Questions available on the author's Web siteto help readers to test their understanding of the basicconceptsWith its emphasis on problem-solving and applications,Engineering Optimization is ideal for upper-level undergraduatesand graduate students in mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical,and aerospace engineering. In addition, the text helps practicingengineers in almost any industry design improved, more efficientsystems at less cost.… (plus d'informations)
