Abstract: This paper presents an approach to find the optimal design layout of chips on a circuit board in a manner that minimizes the area covered on the board and the connections between the various ...

Abstract: Modal analysis of coupled acoustic-structural systems leads to unsymmetric eigenproblem of special form which introduce different left and right eigenvectors. In this paper, the relation between ...

Abstract: A topology optimization based approach is proposed to study the optimal configuration of stiffeners for the interior sound reduction. Since our design target is aimed at reducing the low frequency ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the parametric modeling and optimization of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process for the deposition of thin films of silicon from silane in a vertical impinging ...

Abstract: Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) problems have been intensively studied for many decades. Since Hasofer and Lind [1974, “Exact and Invariant Second-Moment Code Format,” J. Engrg. Mech. ...
