Advances in Design Optimizationby H. Adeli
Spon Press 1994; US$ 420.00This book summarizes advances in a number of fundamental areas of optimization with application in engineering design. The selection of the 'best' or 'optimum' design has long been a major concern of designers and in recent years interest has grown in applying mathematical optimization techniques to design of large engineering and industrial systems, and in using the computer-aided design packages with optimization capabilities which are now available. more...
Introduction to Design for Civil Engineersby R. S. Narayanan; A. W. Beeby
Spon Press 2000; US$ 44.95This is a concise book that provides the reader with the necessary background on terminology used in design. It is largely a qualitative treatment of the subject matter with little mathematics. more...

Advanced Computer-Aided Fixture Designby Yiming (Kevin) Rong; Samuel Huang
Elsevier 2005; US$ 117.00Fixtures--the component or assembly that holds a part undergoing machining--must be designed to fit the shape of that part and the type of machining being done. This book discusses the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) techniques and covers fixture planning, fixture design (both modular and dedicated fixtures), fixture design verifications, and the overall integration with CAD/CAM. The book shows how CAFD may lead to a significant reduction of product and process development time and production cost, and how CAFD can increase quality assurance through simulation and science-based technical specification and cost estimation in business quoting, especially in current supplier-based manufacturing. It also provides case study... more...
Engineering Structuresby Adnan Ibrahimbegovic; Bostjan Brank
Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2005; US$ 199.00This e-book contains extended versions of the papers first presented by several invited speakers at the NATO-sponsored advanced research workshop on ?Multi-physics and multi-scale computer models in non-linear analysis and optimal design of engineering structures under extreme conditions?, which was held in Bled, Slovenia, from June 13 to 17, 2004. It also features a couple of papers contributed by young researchers, who all made short presentations of their research works at that meeting. The collected papers seek to present the most recent research achievements on this currently very active research topic and include contributions on nonlinear structural analysis, on optimal design of structures and microstructures, as well as on the structural... more...
