Abstract: A new algorithm for linear programming problems is presented. The algorithm makes interior moves with a special active set strategy that utilizes both local and global knowledge. This knowledge ...

Abstract: Designing a family of product variants that share some components usually requires a compromise in performance relative to the individually optimized variants due to the commonality constraints. ...

Abstract: The widespread availability of affordable high-performance personal computers and commercial software has prompted the integration of structural analyses with numerical optimization, reducing the ...

Abstract: Optimal design problems with probabilistic constraints, often referred to as reliability-based design optimization problems, have been the subject of extensive recent studies. Solution methods to ...

Abstract: Tolerance allocation is the process of determining allowable dimensional variations in products (parts and subassemblies) and processes (fixtures and tools) in order to meet final assembly quality ...
