Military applications and the aeronautic industry are increasingly interested in aluminum
lithium alloys (Al–Li) because of the properties required due to the presence of Lithium …

In this paper, we address the issue of whether to optimize or satisfice in model-based
engineering design. When dealing with operations research problems in the context of …

Abstract Design knowledge in the vast amount of design reports and documents can be an
excellent resource for designers in their practice. However, capturing such domain-specific …

The design of a manufacturing supply network (MSN) requires the consideration of
decisions made by different groups at multiple levels and their interactions that include …

Engineered systems can be characterized by the inherent uncertainties and interactions in
the system. To effectively design such engineered systems while improving the quality of …

In this paper, we present robust concept exploration using a goal-oriented, inverse decision-
based design method to carry out the integrated design of material, product and associated …

The design of a connected engineered system requires numerous design decisions that
influence one another. In a connected system that comprises numerous interacting …

Designers' choices of methods are well known to shape project outcomes. However,
questions remain about why design teams select particular methods and how teams' …

In engineering-design problems, usually, there are multiple goals with different units,
continuous and discrete variables, nonlinear equations, nonconvex equations, and coupled …

Abstract Design preferences or targets are typically available at the system level. A designer
is usually interested in understanding patches of the design space at component levels …
