Constraint Management of Reduced Representation Variables in Decomposition-Based Design Optimization
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)In decomposition-based design optimization strategies such as analytical target cascading (ATC), it is sometimes necessary to use reduced representations of highly discretized functional data exchanged ... -
What Graduate Students Want to Know
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)There have been several recent occasions where I was asked, often together with other editors of sister design journals, to elaborate on JMD and its processes as an archival journal. Topics ... -
Reliability-Based Design Optimization With Confidence Level for Non-Gaussian Distributions Using Bootstrap Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)For reliability-based design optimization (RBDO), generating an input statistical model with confidence level has been recently proposed to offset inaccurate estimation of the input statistical ... -
Resilience-Driven System Design of Complex Engineered Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Most engineered systems are designed with a passive and fixed design capacity and, therefore, may become unreliable in the presence of adverse events. Currently, most engineered systems are ... -
Practical Robust Design Optimization Using Evolutionary Algorithms
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Robust design optimization (RDO) seeks to find optimal designs which are less sensitive to the uncontrollable variations that are often inherent to the design process. Studies using Evolutionary ... -
Optimization of Face Cone Element for Spiral Bevel and Hypoid Gears
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)In the blank design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, the face cone is defined as an imaginary cone tangent to the tops of the teeth. Traditionally, the face cone element or generatrix is ... -
