Abstract: Once a paper is submitted to Journal of Mechanical Design (JMD), and after successfully passing an initial screening, it is assigned to one of our AEs, or GEs in the case of a special issue. Subsequently, an AE or GE takes ...

Abstract: Engineering design optimization problems often have two competing objectives as well as uncertainty. For these problems, quite often there is interest in obtaining feasibly robust optimum solutions. Feasibly robust here ...

Abstract: Operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over inhabited areas requires mitigating the risk to persons on the ground. Because the risk depends upon the flight path, UAV operators need approaches that can find lowrisk flight ...

Abstract: Multisubsystem co-design refers to the simultaneous optimization of physical plant and controller of a system decomposed into multiple interconnected subsystems. In this paper, two decentralized (multilevel and bilevel) ...

Abstract: Professor Linda Schmidt, a pioneering leader in engineering design research and education, passed away on Mar. 12, 2021.She was born in Blue Island, Illinois, on Nov. 27, 1958, and received her B.S. degree (1989) and M.S. ...

Abstract: Feasibility robust optimization techniques solve optimization problems with uncertain parameters that appear only in their constraint functions. Solving such problems requires finding an optimal solution that is feasible ...

Abstract: Unmanned engineering systems that execute various operations are becoming increasingly complex relying on a large number of components and their interactions. The reliability, maintainability, and performance optimization ...

Abstract: With the increasing popularity and deployment of unmanned surface vessels (USVs) all over the world, prognostics and health management (PHM) has become an indispensable tool for health monitoring, fault diagnosis, health ...
