RISDesign of Horizontal Pressure Vessels Using the Decision Support Problem Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A design method has been developed to determine systematically the system variables that will best achieve multiple design objectives involving both cost and damage tolerance of horizontal vessel ...
Collaborative, Sequential, and Isolated Decisions in Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Commission on Industrial Productivity, in their report Made in America, found that six recurring weaknesses were hampering American manufacturing ...
A Compromise Decision Support Problem for Axiomatic and Robust Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compromise Decision Support Problems (DSPs) are used to model engineering decisions involving multiple trade-offs. In this paper, we focus on how to use such decision models to perform both ...
An Approach for Concurrent and Integrated Material Selection and Dimensional Synthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Difficulty in material selection is often mentioned as a reason for lengthy design cycles. Problems dealing with material selection play a central role in almost all design and are generally ...
Tailoring Composite Materials Through Optimal Selection of Their Constituents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of composite materials has provided designers with increased opportunities for tailoring structures and materials to meet load requirements and changing and demanding environments. This ...
The Bayesian Compromise Decision Support Problem for Multilevel Design Involving Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we present an extension to the traditional compromise Decision Support Problem (DSP) formulation. In this formulation we use Bayesian statistics to model uncertainties associated ...
System Configuration: Concurrent Subsystem Embodiment and System Synthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a method for preliminary system configuration. Two steps are typically associated with preliminary system configuration, namely, selecting components that embody subsystems ...
Facilitating Concept Exploration for Configuring Turbine Propulsion Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this Technical Brief we illustrate the efficacy of the Robust Concept Exploration Method as applied to the preliminary design of a turbine lift engine for Advanced Short Take-Off and Vertical ...
A Procedure for Robust Design: Minimizing Variations Caused by Noise Factors and Control Factors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a small variation to current approaches broadly called Taguchi Robust Design Methods. In these methods, there are two broad categories of problems associated with ...
A Conceptual Basis for the Design of Parabolic Troughs for Different Design Environments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a rational approach for multi-objective design and optimization of parabolic trough solar collectors for different design environments is presented. A macro and micro-level partitioning ...
