Out in the Field Versus Inside in the Lab: A Comparison of Design Professionals’ Concept Screening Practices
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Concept screening is one of the gatekeepers of innovation process and thus is considered a vital component of engineering design. Yet, we know very little about how decisions are made during concept screening or the factors ... -
A Survey of Modeling and Optimization Methods for Multi-Scale Heterogeneous Lattice Structures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art modeling and optimization methods for multi-scale heterogeneous lattice structures (MSHLS) to further facilitate the more design freedom. In this ... -
Collaborative Robotics: A Survey
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Collaborative robotics is an umbrella term that conveys the general idea of proximity between machines and humans for some useful tasks in a shared space, with a range of options for timing (continuously, synchronously, ... -
Design for Nonassembly: Current Status and Future Directions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Nonassembled products, which are produced from a raw material and post-processed to a final form without any assembly steps, form a large and potentially growing share of the manufacturing sector. However, the design for ... -

(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)The Reviewers of the Year Award is given to reviewers who have made an outstanding contribution to the journal in terms of the quantity, quality, and turnaround time of reviews completed during the past 12 months. The prize ... -
Investigation of Printing Parameters of Additive Manufacturing Process for Sustainability Using Design of Experiments
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Additive manufacturing (AM) offers many advantages to make objects compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing methods. For example, complex geometries can be easily fabricated, and lightweight parts can be formed ... -
An Approach to Bayesian Optimization for Design Feasibility Check on Discontinuous Black-Box Functions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)The paper presents a novel approach to applying Bayesian Optimization (BO) in predicting an unknown constraint boundary, also representing the discontinuity of an unknown function, for a feasibility check on the design ... -
TopologyGAN: Topology Optimization Using Generative Adversarial Networks Based on Physical Fields Over the Initial Domain
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)In topology optimization using deep learning, the load and boundary conditions represented as vectors or sparse matrices often miss the opportunity to encode a rich view of the design problem, leading to less than ideal ... -
An Adversarial Agent-Based Design Method Using Stochastic Stackelberg Game Conditions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Products must often endure challenging conditions while fulfilling their intended functions. Game-theoretic methods can readily create a wide variety of these conditions to consider when creating designs. This work introduces ... -
Quantitative Representation of Aleatoric Uncertainties in Network-Like Topological Structural Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)The complex topological characteristics of network-like structural systems, such as lattice structures, cellular metamaterials, and mass transport networks, pose a great challenge for uncertainty qualification (UQ). Various ... -
Toward Quantifiable Evidence of Excess’ Value Using Personal Gaming Desktops
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Complex systems may operate in scenarios where the current requirements were “unknown” at the time of their original design. Such “unknown” requirements might be outside the probability distribution expected during the ... -
Efficient Parametric Optimization for Expensive Single Objective Problems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Parametric optimization solves optimization problems as a function of uncontrollable or unknown parameters. Such an approach allows an engineer to gather more information than traditional optimization procedures during ... -
The Stakeholder Agreement Metric: Quantifying Preference Agreement Between Product Stakeholders
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Go/no-go decisions require engineering design teams to evaluate whether a concept is worth further investment of resources. These decisions can be difficult when product success depends on multiple stakeholders in addition ... -
