Abstract: Modern complex engineering applications are often nondeterministic systems that include sources of uncertainty that cannot be parametrized numerically; this is unparametrizable uncertainty. One example ...

Abstract: The intent in robust design is to improve the quality of products and processes by reducing their sensitivity to variations, thereby reducing the effects of variability without removing its ...

Abstract: A paradigm shift is underway in which the classical materials selection approach in engineering design is being replaced by the design of material structure and processing paths on a hierarchy ...

Abstract: Preliminary design of a complex system often involves exploring a broad design space. This may require repeated use of computationally expensive simulations. To ease the computational burden, ...

Abstract: Design-processes for multiscale, multifunctional systems are inherently complex due to the interactions between scales, functional requirements, and the resulting design decisions. While complex ...

Abstract: Geographically distributed engineers must collaboratively develop, build and test solutions to design-manufacture problems to be competitive in the global marketplace. Engineers operate in a distributed ...

Abstract: The complex turbulent flow regimes encountered in many thermal-fluid engineering applications have proven resistant to the effective application of systematic design because of the computational ...

Abstract: The current research proposes an integrated framework for product design that incorporates simulation-based tools into the early design stage to achieve optimum multiscale systems. The method to ...

Abstract: Prismatic cellular or honeycomb materials exhibit favorable properties for multifunctional applications such as ultralight load bearing combined with active cooling. Since these properties are ...

Abstract: Synthesis of hierarchical materials and products is an emerging systems design paradigm, which includes multiscale (quantum to continuum level) material simulation and product analysis models, ...
