Abstract: Large admissible perturbations (LEAP) is a general methodology, which solves redesign problems of complex structures with, among others, forced response amplitude constraints. In previous work, two ...

Abstract: Rapid prototyping (RP) technology, such as laser engineering net shaping, can be used to fabricate heterogeneous objects with various levels of gradient variations in material composition. These ...

Abstract: Engineering design problems are studied within a multicriteria optimization and decision-making framework. A methodology is developed that modifies the traditional Pareto preference to model designer’s ...

Abstract: The method of large admissible perturbations (LEAP) is a general methodology, which solves redesign problems of complex structures without trial and error or repetitive finite element analyses. ...

Abstract: In structural redesign (inverse design), selection of the number and type of performance constraints is a major challenge. This issue is directly related to the computational effort and, most ...
