Abstract The Circular Economy concept aims to ensure environmental sustainability through
the recovery of durable products that have reached the end of their useable life. Recovery …

This article evaluates 186 papers, published between 1978 and 2013 in 16 representative
scientific journals, related to maintenance and reliability problems that were tackled from a …

Many decision problems have more than one objective that need to be dealt with
simultaneously. Risk, Reliability and Maintenance (RRM) are contexts in which decision …

Foam-filled thin-walled structures signify a class of a promising energy absorber for
improving the crashworthiness and safety of vehicles. Although the conventional …

Both building performance analysis and multi-criteria performance optimisation often use
deterministic simulations. Since many influencing parameters are generally inherently …

In this paper, we present an improved general methodology including four stages to design
robust and reliable products under uncertainties. First, as the formulation stage, we consider …

Nowadays, process optimization has been an interest in engineering design for improving
the performance and reducing cost. In practice, in addition to uncertainty or noise …

In recent years, industrial production and transportation have generated a significant amount
of carbon emissions, leading to a heightened focus on environmental resource …

Structural designs proposed by engineers aim to ensure that specific defined requirements
are satisfied. Structural optimization is also widely used to identify an admissible design with …

Probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods have been proposed to deal with design
problems under uncertainties. Reliability-based design and robust design are probabilistic …
