Time- and Space-Dependent Reliability-Based Design With Envelope Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1/24/2023 )Deterministic optimization may lead to unreliable design results if significant uncertainty exists. Including reliability constraints in reliability-based design (RBD) can solve such a problem. It is difficult to use current ... -
Automatic Facial Expression Analysis as a Measure of User-Designer Empathy
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1/9/2023 1)In human-centered product design and development, understanding the users is essential. Empathizing with the user can help designers gain deeper insights into the user experience and their needs. However, a few studies ... -
G-Lattices: A Novel Lattice Structure and Its Generative Synthesis Under Additive Manufacturing Constraints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 10/17/2022)This paper introduces a novel strut-based lattice structure that is called G-Lattices and a method for their generative synthesis. Given additive manufacturing (AM), user and geometrical constraints, G-Lattices can ... -
Framework for the Evolution of Heuristics in Advanced Manufacturing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 10/17/2022)This study works toward addressing a knowledge gap in understanding how heuristics are developed, retrieved, employed, and modified by designers. Having a better awareness of one’s own set of heuristics can be beneficial ... -
GAN-DUF: Hierarchical Deep Generative Models for Design Under Free-Form Geometric Uncertainty
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 10/31/2022)Deep generative models have demonstrated effectiveness in learning compact and expressive design representations that significantly improve geometric design optimization. However, these models do not consider the uncertainty ... -
A New Framework for Efficient Sequential Sampling-Based RBDO Using Space Mapping
