Robust design optimization (RDO) is a field of optimization in which certain measure of
robustness is sought against uncertainty. Unlike conventional optimization, the number of …

The accurate assessment of the remaining strength of corroded pipes is a subject that has
been increasingly investigated over the past decades. This is because of the risk of …

This paper focuses on the development of an optimization tool with the aim to obtain robust
and reliable designs in short computational time. The robustness measures considered here …

Polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) has been proven to be a powerful tool for developing
surrogate models in various engineering fields for uncertainty quantification. The …

One of the important causes of failure and incidents in pipelines is corrosion. Due to the
severe consequences and impact in several social, economic, and environmental areas …

With the transformation and upgrading of my country's industrial structure, the level of
manufacturing automation has gradually improved. According to research, the design of …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop robust metamodels, which allow
propagating parametric uncertainties, in the presence of localized nonlinearities, with …

This paper proposes a model for the selection of the most attractive franchises by an alleged
franchisee. To do so, using the structure that contemplates the main factors of choice of …

To achieve robust design, in presence of uncertainty, nonlinearity and structural periodicity,
a metamodel combining the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method for uncertainty …

This study addresses pipeline failure, a critical issue primarily attributed to corrosion, with far-
reaching consequences in social, economic, and environmental domains. Traditional …
