In this paper, Reliability-Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO) of a two-
stage solid propellant expendable launch vehicle (LV) is investigated. Propulsion, weight …

In this paper the elastodynamic optimization of a 3T1R parallel manipulator is performed.
The robot is first divided into subsystems including its four legs and the moving platform; …

In the course of designing structural assemblies, performing a full optimization is very
expensive in terms of computation time. In order or reduce this cost, we propose a multilevel …

Study Design. Computer modeling and simulations to analyze correction forces at the bone-
screw interface in scoliosis instrumentation. Objective. To derive the minimum corrective …

The optimization of metamorphic mechanisms is different from that of the conventional
mechanisms for its characteristics of multi-configuration. There exist complex coupled …

Bien que de plus en plus employée au sein des bureaux d'études dans le cadre de la
conception mécanique, l'optimisation reste à l'heure actuelle encore relativement peu …

The main objective of this paper is to propose an optimization strategy which uses partially
converged data to minimize the computational effort associated with an optimization …

Toggle mechanism is commonly used in manufacturing industry for several applications
ranging from injection molding machines to tools and fixtures. Toggle clamps are available …

As a result of a large number of optimising problems, the classification of these problems is
essential in the analysis of a given task. One of the parameters significantly affecting the …

Optimal synthesis of mechanisms is a successful approach for mechanism design to satisfy
all the desired characteristics of the designed mechanism. The 4-bar crank-rocker …
