P3GA: An Algorithm for Technology Characterization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is important for engineers to understand the capabilities and limitations of the technologies they consider for use in their systems. However, communicating this information can be a challenge. Mathematical characterizations ...
Design of Approximate Explicit Model Predictive Controller Using Parametric Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces a new technique, called stateparameterized nonlinear programming control (spNLPC), for designing a feedback controller that can stabilize intrinsically unstable nonlinear dynamical systems using ...
Technology Characterization Models and Their Use in Systems Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prior research suggests that setbased design representations can be useful for facilitating collaboration among engineers in a design project. However, existing setbased methods are limited in terms of how the sets are ...
A Study on Outcome Framing and Risk Attitude in Engineering Decisions Under Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Decision making is a central activity in the design of an engineered system and has a significant impact on project outcomes. Although much research exists on engineering decision making, relatively little addresses ...
A Constraint Satisfaction Algorithm for the Generalized Inverse Phase Stability Problem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Researchers have used the (calculation of phase diagram) CALPHAD method to solve the forward phase stability problem of mapping from specific thermodynamic conditions (material composition, temperature, pressure, etc.) to ...
Efficient Parametric Optimization for Expensive Single Objective Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parametric optimization solves optimization problems as a function of uncontrollable or unknown parameters. Such an approach allows an engineer to gather more information than traditional optimization procedures during ...
Parameterized Design Optimization of a Magnetohydrodynamic Liquid Metal Active Cooling Concept
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The success of modelbased multifunctional material design efforts relies on the proper development of multiphysical models and advanced optimization algorithms. This paper addresses both in the context of a structure that ...
An Algorithm for Multi-Objective Efficient Parametric Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parametric optimization is the process of solving an optimization problem as a function of currently unknown or changing variables known as parameters. Parametric optimization methods have been shown to benefit engineering ...
