In the aircraft industry, there is a shift towards more and all-electric power systems resulting
in great research efforts on single components like batteries. At the same time there is an …

Robust Design Methods (RDM) comprises a set of principles, tools, and metrics that are
used to analyze and design products such that they become insensitive to changes in their …

Slender beam-columns in lightweight mechanical load-bearing structures are sensitive to
failure by buckling when loaded by compressive axial loads. The maximum bearable axial …

Load-bearing structures in mechanical engineering applications typically face the challenge
of withstanding and transmitting external loads. In most cases, the load path through the …

Uncertainty is an important design constraint when configuring a dynamic mechanical
system that is subject to passive or active vibration reduction. Uncertainty can be divided into …

This paper presents two new technologies in order to optimize the operation of a con-
ventional spring-damper-system. Therefore, the function structure such as the energy flow of …

This paper presents an approach to develo** size ranges of products that have ergonomic
requirements. Ergonomic requirements are a main source of semi-similarity in size ranges …

Vibrations in mechanical lightweight beam and truss-type structures are often related to
several detrimental effects such as diminished durability, unwanted noise and safety issues …

Along with the ever-increasing customer demands, early consideration of variation in terms
of robust design is important to avoid expensive iterations in the product development …

The authors compare direct probability and non-probability parametric uncertainty analysis
for decision making in early design phase of passive and active vibration isolation in …
