Abstract: Major engineering failures act as a catalyst for change in standards of practice and therefore create the opportunity for establishing better ethical practices for the profession. When examining ethics in engineering ...

Abstract: Economic and physical considerations often lead to equilibrium problems in multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO), which can be captured by MDO problems with complementarity constraints (MDO-CC)—a ...

Abstract: Product recovery has become a field of rapidly growing interest for product manufacturers as a promising solution for product stewardship as well as for economic viability. Because product ...

Abstract: The laminar pulsating flow through porous media was numerically studied. Two-dimensional flows in systems composed of a number of unit cells of generic porous structures were simulated using a ...

Abstract: This paper describes a two-step damage detection and health monitoring approach that was developed for large and complex structures with a limited number of measurements. The first step identifies ...

Abstract: This paper describes the way in which a structural acoustic coupled system can be modelled using an equivalent lumped parameter mechanical model. The impedance-mobility approach is first used ...

Abstract: When a structure deviates from axisymmetry because of circumferentially varying model features, significant changes can occur to its natural frequencies and modes, particularly for the doublet ...

Abstract: The formulation of a product portfolio requires extensive knowledge about the product market space and also the technical limitations of a company’s engineering design and manufacturing processes. ...
