(1) What are the <strong>Design</strong> Variables?12lrF Radius r and length l are design variables. If the designer can freely choose the material, the material properties E and Ware design variables too. E and W cannot be any arbitrary value, they are discrete design variables. Discrete variables, including integer variables and binary variables, are morecommon than continuous variables in engineering design optimizationproblems.
