Abstract: Hybrid electric fuel cell vehicles are studied using a system perspective that explores the tradeoffs among fuel economy, acceleration, and other vehicle attributes. Design decisions are derived ...

Abstract: Decomposition-based strategies, such as analytical target cascading (ATC), are often employed in design optimization of complex systems. Achieving convergence and computational efficiency in the ...

Abstract: Analytical target cascading (ATC) is a multidisciplinary design optimization method for multilevel hierarchical systems. To improve computational efficiency, especially for problems under uncertainty ...

Abstract: Automotive use of fuel cells has received increased attention due to clean and efficient power generation. Successful vehicular applications require careful balance of design and control trade-offs. ...
