4 What Is Design Optimization? Selecting the best design within the available means 1. What is our criterion for best design? Objective function 2. What are the available means? 3. How do we describe different designs? Constraints (design requirements) Design Variables (16.682) 4

5 Optimization Statement Minimize f ( x) Subject to g( x) 0 h( x) = (16.682) 5

6 Constraints - Design requirements Inequality constraints Equality constraints (16.682) 6

7 Objective Function - A criterion for best design (or goodness of a design) Objective function (16.682) 7

8 Design Variables Parameters that are chosen to describe the design of a system Design variables are controlled by the designers The position of upper holes along the design freedom line (16.682) 8

9 Design Variables For computational design optimization, Objective function and constraints must be expressed as a function of design variables (or design vector X) Objective function: f ( x) Constraints: g( x), h( x) Cost = f(design) Displacement = f(design) Natural frequency = f(design) Mass = f(design) What is f for each case? (16.682) 9

10 Optimization Statement Minimize f ( x) Subject to g( x) 0 h( x) = 0 f(x) : Objective function to be minimized g(x) : Inequality constraints h(x) : Equality constraints x : Design variables (16.682) 10

11 Optimization Procedure Minimize f ( x) Subject to g( x) 0 h( x) = 0 START Determine an initial design (x 0 ) Improve Design Computer Simulation Evaluate f(x), g(x), h(x) Change x N Converge? Y END Does your design meet a termination criterion? (16.682) 11

12 Structural Optimization Selecting the best structural design -Size Optimization - Shape Optimization - Topology Optimization (16.682) 12

15 Size Optimization - Shape are given Topology - Optimize cross sections (16.682) 15

16 Shape Optimization minimize f ( x) subject to g( x) 0 h() x = 0 B-spline Hermite, Bezier, B-spline, NURBS, etc. Design variables (x) x : control points of the B-spline (position of each control point) f(x) : compliance g(x) : mass Number of design variables (ndv) ndv = (16.682) 16

24 Structural Optimization What determines the type of structural optimization? Type of the design variable (How to describe the design?) (16.682) 24

25 Optimum Solution Graphical Representation f(x) f(x): displacement x: design variable Optimum solution (x*) x (16.682) 25

26 Optimization Methods Gradient-based methods Heuristic methods (16.682) 26

27 Gradient-based Methods f(x) You do not know this function before optimization Start Check gradient Move Check gradient Gradient=0 Stop! No active constraints Optimum solution (x*) (Termination criterion: Gradient=0) x (16.682) 27

28 Gradient-based Methods (16.682) 28

29 Global optimum vs. Local optimum f(x) Termination criterion: Gradient=0 Local optimum Local optimum Global optimum No active constraints x (16.682) 29

30 Heuristic Methods A Heuristic is simply a rule of thumb that hopefully will find a good answer. Why use a Heuristic? Heuristics are typically used to solve complex optimization problems that are difficult to solve to optimality. Heuristics are good at dealing with local optima without getting stuck in them while searching for the global optimum.
