This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in robust design optimization–the search for designs
and solutions which are immune with respect to production tolerances, parameter drifts …

The path towards energy sustainability is commonly referred to the incremental adoption of
available technologies, practices and policies that may help to decrease the environmental …

This article presents a brief survey on some of the most relevant developments in the field of
optimization under uncertainty. In particular, the scope and the relevance of the papers …

Persistence is an important characteristic of many complex systems in nature, related to how
long the system remains at a certain state before changing to a different one. The study of …

Product modularity has been discussed in engineering and management literature for over
forty years. During this time span, definitions and views on the meaning of product …

A robust shape and topology optimization (RSTO) approach with consideration of random
field uncertainty in loading and material properties is developed in this work. The proposed …

Robust optimization over time (ROOT) is the combination of robust optimization and dynamic
optimization. In ROOT, frequent changes to deployed solutions are undesirable, which can …

In reliability-based robust design optimization (RBRDO) formulation, the product quality loss
function is minimized subject to probabilistic constraints. Since the quality loss function is …

Geometric uncertainty refers to the deviation of the geometric boundary from its ideal
position, which may have a non-trivial impact on design performance. Since geometric …

The use of computer experiments and surrogate approximations (metamodels) introduces a
source of uncertainty in simulation-based design that we term model interpolation …
