method enables readers to efficiently design higherquality lower costobjects with less metal requirements vibration and noise and with lowerdynamic loads and energy consumption determine optimal solutions regardlessof the number of criteria involved and to identify relationships amongdifferent criteria and between criteria and design variables accuratelyaccount for discrepancies between theoretical and actual characteristics usinga special set of adequacy criteria determine optimal design variables forcomplex finite element models In addition the book helps readers enhance thepotential of the PSI method with theoretical investigations and algorithms forapproximating the feasible solutions set and Pareto optimal set facilitateproficient problemsolving by incorporating recently obtained results from thetheory of uniformly distributed sequences evaluate design procedures byobserving examples ranging from machine tools and agricultural equipment toautomobiles and aviation This practical indepth treatment of multicriteriaoptimization and engineering is essential for engineers and designers workingin research and development of manufacturing machines mechanisms andstructures. It is also an important text for students of applied mathematicsmechanical engineering optimal control and operations research. «
