Design Optimization (ME41613) + Engineering Design Optimization (ME60079)

The document discusses different types of constraints in engineering design optimization. It describes parametric constraints which restrict design variables within defined ranges. Geometric constraints are expressed as mathematical equations relating design variables and ensure geometric compatibility. Kinetic constraints relate to limits on forces and torques. Material constraints ensure safety against failure under different loading conditions like static, dynamic and variable loads. The objectives are to classify constraint types and express them mathematically for use in design optimization problems.

Introduction to Design Optimization

Objectives:

After listening to this lecture you should be able to

• Classify different types of constraints


• Express the constraints in mathematical form
Design Constraints

Design constraints are the restrictions with which


a designer has to comply during the process of
design

Design constraints should be expressed in


mathematical forms
