Overview

In the competitive world of modern engineering, rigorous and definite design methodologies are needed. However, many parts of engineering design are performed in either an ad-hoc manner or based on the intuition of the engineer.

Analytic Design Methods for Design Practice is the first book to look at both stages of the design process conceptual design and detailed design and detail design methodologies for every step of the entire design process. The book introduces the following analytic design methodologies and explores their usefulness with many mathematical and practical examples:

• Axiomatic design
• Optimization;
• Design of experiments;
• Robust design;
• Structural optimization;
• Dynamic response optimization; and
• Multidisciplinary optimization.

A chapter of the book is devoted to case studies showing how practical design problems can be solved with analytic design methods based on Professor Park s experiences of teaching design engineering over the past ten years.

Students who need an introduction to modern design theories and want to understand how they can be applied to a wide range of real engineering problems will find Analytic Design Methods for Design Practice an excellent introduction to the subject. The necessary mathematics is kept to a minimum and the book s practical focus will make the book useful to practising engineers as a practical handbook of design.

<p>From the reviews: <p> The purpose of the book was to collect together selected topics and to present them in a unified approach. To clarify the presentation, many illustrative examples and numerical results are demonstrated. The book is accessible to the novice and expert alike, and can be used by students, engineers and scientists working in aerospace, automotive, and mechanical and civil engineering. (Stefan Jendo, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1114 (16), 2007)<p> The book gives a broad introduction to modern design theories, and demonstrates how mathematical methods can be applied to a wide range of real engineering design and optimization problems. The text is written in a very readable and teachable way . useful as a textbook in higher-level undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in engineering design and optimization, and other fields of applied science. The practical focus also make it useful as a design guide book to practicing engineers. (Niels Olhoff, Structural andy
