This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in robust design optimization–the search for designs
and solutions which are immune with respect to production tolerances, parameter drifts …

Persistence is an important characteristic of many complex systems in nature, related to how
long the system remains at a certain state before changing to a different one. The study of …

Variability is unavoidable in the realization of products. While design must specify ideal
geometry, it shall also describe limits of variability (tolerances) that must be met in order to …

Robust optimization over time (ROOT) is the combination of robust optimization and dynamic
optimization. In ROOT, frequent changes to deployed solutions are undesirable, which can …

There is increasing awareness of the imperative to accelerate materials discovery, design,
development, and deployment. Materials design is essentially a goal-oriented activity that …

Process knowledge is of considerable significance to the digitalization and intelligentization
of the manufacturing industry. Current research on the process knowledge representation of …

This paper examines design iteration and its modelling in the simulation of New Product
Development (NPD) processes. A framework comprising six perspectives of iteration is …

The robustness of a design has a major influence on how much the product's performance
will vary and is of great concern to design, quality, and production engineers. While …

Robust design is an effective approach to design under uncertainty. Many works exist on
mitigating the influence of parametric uncertainty associated with design or noise variables …

An integrated multiscale modeling framework that incorporates a simulation-based
upscaling technique is developed and implemented for the material characterization of …
