Comparative studies on numerical optimal design techniques

수치해석에 의한 최적화 설계 기법의 비교 연구

Computer codes on two numerical optimization methods-Sequentially Unconstrained Minimization Technique (SUMT) and Gradient Projection Method-are constructed and tested with several test problems. Design formulation of tension - compression coil spring is set up and the solution is obtained. Consequently, the feature, the advantage and the limitation of these methods, made clear through the tests, are discussed.
