Abstract
During the last decades, increasing computational power and advances in the theoretical methods changed the focus from a pure analysis to an extensive synthesis of mechanical systems. After modeling and simulating the system behavior, we choose the systems design variables to reach optimally engineering goals and system specifications.
The following chapter contains in a modified and unified manner material published before by the authors in the Archive of Applied Mechanics (Eberhard et al., 1999).
