Abstract: A review of the literature on testing of notched specimens is provided with emphasis on short-term notched bar tension tests. The effects of notch geometry, stress state, and smooth-bar tensile ...

Abstract: A knowledge-based computer-aided design tool for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) design synthesis called case-based synthesis of MEMS (CaSyn-MEMS) has been developed. MEMS-based technologies ...

Abstract: Monotonicity analysis is used to solve a three-objective optimization problem in which a hydraulic cylinder is to be designed. With the additional application of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality ...

Abstract: Information gathering and refinement are critical activities in conceptual design. A decision-based framework is developed consisting of three main components: a flexible, extensible design space ...

Abstract: The premise of this research is that the engineering design process is partially driven by achieving consensus and reconciling points of view among team members. Characterizing the quality of ...

Abstract: In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering this article will provide a retrospective of past research on intelligent systems in ...
