Abstract: Statistical sensitivity analysis (SSA) is playing an increasingly important role in engineering design, especially with the consideration of uncertainty. However, it is not straightforward to apply ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for characterizing the performance limitations imposed by the yielding of the cables in systems with cable-driven transmissions. The method involves developing a ...

Abstract: A multiscale design methodology is proposed for hierarchical material and product systems with random field uncertainty that propagates across multiple length scales. Using the generalized hierarchical ...

Abstract: Statistical sensitivity analysis (SSA) is an effective methodology to examine the impact of variations in model inputs on the variations in model outputs at either a prior or posterior design ...

Abstract: An integrated design framework that employs multiscale analysis to facilitate concurrent product, material, and manufacturing process design is presented in this work. To account for uncertainties ...
