A Simulation Method to Estimate Two Types of Time-Varying Failure Rate of Dynamic Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The failure rate of dynamic systems with random parameters is time-varying even for linear systems excited by a stationary random input. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based method to estimate two types (type I and ... -
A Novel Sequential Multi-Objective Optimization Using Anchor Points in the Design Space of Global Variables
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Multi-objective problems are encountered in many engineering applications and multi-objective optimization (MOO) approaches have been proposed to search for Pareto solutions. Due to the nature of searching for multiple ... -

Deciding Degree of Conservativeness in Initial Design Considering Risk of Future Redesign
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Early in the design process, there is often mixed epistemic model uncertainty and aleatory parameter uncertainty. Later in the design process, the results of high-fidelity simulations or experiments will reduce epistemic ... -
Robust Optimization With Parameter and Model Uncertainties Using Gaussian Processes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Uncertainty is unavoidable in engineering design, which may result in variations in the objective functions and/or constraints. The former may degrade the designed performance while the latter can even change the feasibility ... -
Variance-Based Sensitivity Analysis to Support Simulation-Based Design Under Uncertainty
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Sensitivity analysis plays a critical role in quantifying uncertainty in the design of engineering systems. A variance-based global sensitivity analysis is often used to rank the importance of input factors, based on their ... -

Resilience Assessment Based on Time-Dependent System Reliability Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Significant efforts have been recently devoted to the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of resilience in engineering systems. Current resilience evaluation methods, however, have mainly focused on business supply ... -
Robustness Metrics: Consolidating the Multiple Approaches to Quantify Robustness
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The robustness of a design has a major influence on how much the product's performance will vary and is of great concern to design, quality, and production engineers. While variability is always central to the definition ... -

Engineering Resilience Quantification and System Design Implications: A Literature Survey
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)A resilient system is a system that possesses the ability to survive and recover from the likelihood of damage due to disruptive events or mishaps. The concept that incorporates resiliency into engineering practices is ... -
Redundancy Allocation for Multistate Systems With Component Dependencies and Load Sharing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Binary-state and component independent assumptions will lead to doubtful and misleading redundancy allocation schemes which may not satisfy the reliability requirements for real engineering applications. Most published ... -
Identifying Uncertainty in Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing Models
