A Computational Framework for Human-Centric Vehicular Crashworthiness Design and Decision-Making Under Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Government agencies, globally, strive to minimize the likelihood and frequency of human death and severe injury on road transport systems. From an engineering design standpoint, the minimization of these road accident ...
Socio-Technical Modeling to Manage Power Distribution for Microgrid Systems With Limited Production Capacity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The quality of life (QOL) in rural communities is improved through electrification. Microgrids can provide electricity in areas where grid access to electricity is infeasible. Still, insufficient power capacity hinders the ...
A Framework for the Simultaneous Multilevel Design Exploration and Decision Support of Material Structures and Manufacturing Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional manufacturing, such as steel manufacturing, involves a series of processes to realize the final product. The properties and performance of the final product depend on the material processing history and the ...
Decision-Centric Co-Design Exploration of Manufacturing Supply Networks for Resilience
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Manufacturing supply networks (MSNs) involve group decisions to achieve group goals and network decisions to achieve network goals. These decisions are made across multiple levels of a decision hierarchy. Resilience—the ...
An Inverse, Decision-Based Design Method for Robust Concept Exploration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we extend our previous work on a goal-oriented inverse design method to carry out inverse robust design by managing the uncertainty involved. The extension embodies the introduction of specific robust design ...
Designing Evolving Cyber-Physical-Social Systems: Computational Research Opportunities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS) are natural extensions of cyber-physical systems that add the consideration of human interactions and cooperation with cyber systems and physical systems. CPSS are becoming increasingly ...
A Decision Support Framework for Robust Multilevel Co-Design Exploration of Manufacturing Supply Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of a manufacturing supply network (MSN) requires the consideration of decisions made by different groups at multiple levels and their interactions that include potential conflicts. Decisions are typically made ...
An Inverse, Decision-Based Design Method for Integrated Design Exploration of Materials, Products, and Manufacturing Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A material's design revolution is underway with a focus to design the material microstructure and processing paths to achieve certain performance requirements of products. A host of manufacturing processes are involved in ...
A Goal-Oriented, Sequential, Inverse Design Method for the Horizontal Integration of a Multistage Hot Rod Rolling System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The steel manufacturing process is characterized by the requirement of expeditious development of high quality products at low cost through the effective use of available resources. Identifying solutions that meet the ...
PDSIDES—A Knowledge-Based Platform for Decision Support in the Design of Engineering Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We hypothesize that by providing decision support for designers we can speed up the design process and facilitate the creation of quality cost-effective designs. One of the challenges in providing design decision support ...
