Antony Jameson pioneered CFD-based aerodynamic design optimization in the late 1980s.
In addition to developing the fundamental theory, Jameson implemented that theory in …

This paper is a basic tutorial on the adjoint method when used in a computational scheme
for solving an inverse problem. The adjoint method is a technique for the efficient calculation …

Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is concerned with solving design problems
involving coupled numerical models of complex engineering systems. While various MDO …

First-order reliability and finite element methods are used to develop a methodology for
reliability analysis of structures with stochastically varying properties and subjected to …
