This paper presents a comprehensive review of Uncertainty-Based Multidisciplinary Design
Optimization (UMDO) theory and the state of the art in UMDO methods for aerospace …

Abstract Design optimization of structural and multidisciplinary systems under uncertainty
has been an active area of research due to its evident advantages over deterministic design …

Due to its renewable and nonpolluting nature, solar energy is often used in applications
such as electricity generation, thermal heating, and chemical processing. The most cost …

Computer simulations based on mathematical models have become ubiquitous across the
engineering disciplines and throughout the physical sciences. Successful use of a …

Probabilistic design, such as reliability-based design and robust design, offers tools for
making reliable decisions with the consideration of uncertainty associated with design …

This chapter discusses the importance of multidisciplinary optimization and of including
reliability-based constraints in design. Before addressing reliability issues, we first present a …

One of the major barriers that hinder the realization of significant potential of metal-based
additive manufacturing (AM) techniques is the variation in the quality of the manufactured …

A wide variety of uncertainty propagation methods exist in literature; however, there is a lack
of good understanding of their relative merits. In this paper, a comparative study on the …

A primary concern in practical engineering design is ensuring high system reliability
throughout a product's lifecycle, which is subject to time-variant operating conditions and …

The single-loop approach (SLA) for reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is one of
the most efficient schemes for optimization problems with linear and weak nonlinear …
