In comparative studies of constrained optimization methods the equality constrained recursive quadratic programming procedure has performed very favorably, particularly in terms of required computer time for execution. Biggs has formulated a strategy based on a quadratic penalty function and proved the global convergence of the method. This paper reformulates the procedure based on an augmented Lagrangian penalty function leading to improved performance and reduced sensitivity to the algorithm parameters

The design of a turbocharged, gasoline fueled, four-stroke engine is considered with the goal of selecting design and operating variables to minimize fuel comsumption. The development of the engine simulation code and the effect of model assumptions on the results are presented. The optimization includes constraints on detonation, exhaust emissions, and torque. A number of observations about the interaction between the thermofluid and the nonlinear programming algorithm are made and general strategies to enhance the optimization under such circumstances are discussed. The method is illustrated by exploring the design of a turbocharged Buick V-6 engine on an IBM PC/AT personal computer. The paper clearly demonstrates that it is feasible to do relatively sophisticated engineering design and optimization on personal computers, and it sets the stage for further work in this area

A pair of quartic polynomials in the tangent of the output angular displacement were derived for two TTTR mechanisms designed in such a way that the serially connected pairs of Hooke joints have their successive transverse axes parallel or mutually perpendicular. These results form the basis for an efficient reverse displacement analysis and for the design of a new group of robots with three serially connected Hooke joints which may prove to be attractive to industry
