The increasing complexity of engineering systems has sparked rising interest in
multidisciplinary optimization (MDO). This paper surveys recent publications in the field of …

Recently, engineering systems are quite large and complicated. The design requirements
are fairly complex and it is not easy to satisfy them by considering only one discipline …

This paper proposes a new methodology for uncertainty quantification in systems that
require multidisciplinary iterative analysis between two or more coupled component models …

Vibration frequencies are important and easily attainable parameters, which can be used to
observe the dynamic behavior of a structural system. In many cases, it is beneficial to place …

Wflx= fixed weight, Ib Wfuei= fuel weight, Ib Initial= aircraft weight at beginning of cruise
phase, Ib Wto= takeoff gross weight, Ib Wwing= wing weight, Ib X= independent design …

Modern engineering products are becoming increasingly complex, particularly in industries
such as aerospace and automotive. Optimization of complex products presents unique …

A multilevel optimization approach applicable to nonhierarchic coupled systems is
presented. The approach includes a general treatment of design (or behaviour) constraints …

IN RECENT years, industry has paid more attention to the formalization of complex system
analysis and design (ie, aircraft, automotive, and electronics industries, etc.) by seeking …

The design process associated with large engineering systems requires an initial
decomposition of the complex system into subsystem modules which are coupled through …

Methods in multidisciplinary design optimization rely on computer tools to manage the large
amounts of information involved. One such tool is DeMAID (DEsign Manager's Aide for …
