When discussing the performance of design teams, researchers repeatedly stress the role of
design cognition. A major challenge in this research is assessing the collective cognitive …

This paper introduces a machine learning approach for optimizing propellers. The method
aims to improve the computational cost of optimization by reducing the number of …

A spectral algorithm for community detection is presented. The algorithm consists of three
stages:(1) matrix factorization of two matrix forms, square signless Laplacian for unipartite …

Despite the importance of the architectural modularity of products and systems, existing
modularity metrics or algorithms do not account for overlapping and hierarchically …

It has been assumed, but not yet tested, that the topological disintegration of networks is
relatable to degradations in complex engineered system behavior and that extant network …

Increasing the modularity of system architectures is generally accepted as a good design
principle in engineering. In this paper, we explore whether modularity comes at the expense …

This paper argues that design fixation, in part, entails fixation at the level of meta‐
representation, the representation of the relation between a representation and its reference …

HE design and development of an aircraft are tasks that require multidisciplinary analyses.
Central constraints in the design process are the loads and the aeroelastic response …

Isolated perfused livers from fasted rats have been extensively studied to understand the
underlying mechanisms of injury‐induced acute and chronic changes in liver metabolism. In …

This paper presents a new methodology for modeling complex engineered systems using
complex networks for failure analysis. Many existing network-based modeling approaches …
