Traditional Systems Design
• In traditional systems design the objective is merely to meet the specifications. There is no formal attempt to reach the best design in the strict mathematical sense of minimizing cost or weight or volume or maximizing profit.

finalized making it a slow and very costly process.
•The science of optimization is a formalism that allows not only all specifications (design constraints) to be met, but would also yield design which is the best in terms of some figure(s) of merit.

•It is a completely automated process that allows lesser skilled and experienced engineers to create optimum design.
•Optimization is applicable to all numerate disciplines including fuzzy systems.

Volume V of the grain silo is: V = Pi/4 x d2 x h m3
Specification V = 200 m3
Substituting we obtain 200 = Pi/4 x d2 x h
or d2 x h = 254.655 m3

First design --- By Inexperienced EngineerArbitrarily choose d = 1 mTherefore, h = 254.655 m
The design will of course work, but the problem is that it will be too expensive. What we have actually done really is to apply rule of thumb saying that we shall arbitrarily choose diameter d = 1 m.

This applies an artificial constraint on our design variable ‘d’ to yield a unique solution.
Now in practice rules of thumb used by competent engineers are never so unrealistic. But nevertheless they are only guess work. If we study a number of grain silo designs we will repeatedly come across designs more or less of square shape.

Second design --- By Experienced Engineer
The engineer has been making similar grain silos for many years. From past experience he bases his design on roughly a square shape.
With d2 x h = 254.655 m3, and d = h
d3 = 254.655 or d = h = 6.34 m Copyright 2007 by Sayeed Nurul Ghani. All rights reserved.C

But he has not attempted, in any way, to obtain the best design in terms of some figure of merit which is cost in this case.
In this example we want most economical design !
So we see traditional design approach (use of rules of thumb) has no capability to satisfy our quest for the best.

Since we are seeking the most cost effective design we shall have to bring, somehow, the concept of total system cost in our design formulae.
(In general terms this is how we do it. From the manufacturer’s catalogues we derive the cost of a component to its size. We next obtain a best curve fit to obtain cost formulae.)

Optimum Design
We perform a cost analysis and deduce the following econometric models.
Cost of base including land $5000 + $4000/m2
Cost of roof $1000 + $1500/m2
Cost of silo walls $3000 + $4000/m2 of wall area + $1000/m of height

21
Total cost = Cost of base + Cost of roof + Cost of silo wall.
Cost of base including land $5000 + $400 x Pi/4 x (d + 4)2
Cost of roof $1000 + $20 x Pi/4 x (d + 4)2
Cost of silo wall $3000 + $40 x Pi x d x h + $1000h
Total cost of the silo = $9000 + ${420 x Pi/4 x (d + 4)2 }+ $(40 x Pi x d x h) + $(1000 x h)

22
The optimization model (cost function for constrained optimization) for the grain silo is then
Minimize cost function F(d, h) = $9000 + ${420 x Pi/4 x (d + 4)2 }+ $(40 x Pi x d x h) + $(1000 x h)
Subject to explicit constraints 0 =< d <= infinity 0 =< h <= infinity

and implicit constraint
254.655 =< d2h <= infinity
Defining design variables x1 = d and x2 = h the optimization model for the grain silo then becomes in generalized terms
Minimize cost function F(x1, x2) = $9000 + ${420 x Pi/4 x (x1 + 4)2 }+ $(40 x Pi x1 x2) + $(1000 x2)

Subject to explicit constraints 0 =< x1 <= 99999 0 =< x2 <= 99999
and implicit constraint
254.655 =< x12 x2 <= 99999
Next a constrained optimizer ‘EVOP’ developed by this author was used to minimize the above objective function.

This will yield L = 338 mH – a more realistic value to use for the inductor. But we have not attempted, in any way, to obtain the best design in terms of some figure of merit which is cost in this case.

From the manufacturer’s catalogues we derive the cost of a component to its size. We next obtain a best curve fit to obtain a mathematical expression relating cost to size.

Cost of a capacitor = 5 + 1/uF cents
Cost of an inductor = 50 + 5/H + 1/H2 cents
Total system cost was then
System Cost = Cost of C1 + Cost of C2 + Cost of L

System Cost = (5 + C1) + (5 + C2) + (50 + 5L + L2) cents
= 60 + (C1 + C2) + L(5 + L) cents
Having obtained the total system cost, we have to next introduce the constraints on the design variables imposed by the specification on the ripple factor in our optimization model.

The constraint due to specification on ripple factor, as derived earlier, is
L = 346/(C1 C2)
So, the mathematical model for optimization becomes
Minimize cost F(C1, C2, L) = 60 + (C1 + C2) + L(5 + L)
Subject to the following constraints on the design variables

0 < L < infinity 0 < C1 < infinity 0 < C2 < infinity
And implicit equality constraint
L = 346/(C1 C2)
This equality constraint is next introduced in the cost function F(C1, C2, L) to yield the cost function of reduced dimensionalityCopyright 2007 by Sayeed Nurul Ghani. All rights reserved.C

F(C1, C2) = 60 + (C1 + C2) + {346/(C1* C2)} * {5 + 346/(C1 + C2)}
We next account for non-negativity of our design variables C1 and C2 by introducing the following two transformations.
x12 = C1 and x2
2 = C2
The cost function for unconstrained optimization now becomes
Cost = F(x1, x2) = 60 + (x12 + x2

x1 and x2 can now take negative values but capacitor values C1 and C2 will always remain positive.
Next a versatile optimizer EVOP due to Ghani was used to minimize the above cost function.

EVOP calculated the following values of the objective function at the minimum:
X1* = 3.778; X2
* = 3.777 and F* = 99.92
Hence, C1* = 3.7782 = 14.273 uF
and C2* = 3.7772 =

Using the relation Cost = 60 + (C1 + C2) + L(5 + L) cents we hand calculate the optimalCost F* = 60 + (14.268 + 14.268) + 1.698(5 + 1.698) = 99.91 cents.

If explicit inequality constraints on the design variables were not accounted for, the computer being nothing more than a fast number crunching idiot will churn out an impossible, unrealistic design as follows:

Maximization
•Finally, if maximization is needed (instead of minimization), then negate the objective function and then minimize as usual.
Minimize -Fo (x1, x2, …, xn) will yield:
Maximize Fo (x1, x2, …, xn)
Constraints should be kept unchanged.
