There is also a large increase in legislation starting around 1999 and continuing into the present day t... | Wikipedia - Mining engineering - Mining health and safety > Australia | 214 | 1,149 | null |
Article: Molecular engineering. Molecular engineering is an emerging field of study concerned with the design and testing of molecular properties, behavior and interactions in order to assemble better materials, systems, and processes for specific functions. This approach, in which observable properties of a macroscopi... | Wikipedia - Molecular engineering - Summary | 331 | 1,926 | null |
Section: History. Molecular engineering was first mentioned in the research literature in 1956 by Arthur R. von Hippel, who defined it as "… a new mode of thinking about engineering problems. Instead of taking prefabricated materials and trying to devise engineering applications consistent with their macroscopic proper... | Wikipedia - Molecular engineering - History | 241 | 1,253 | null |

Article: Multidisciplinary design optimization. Multi-disciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a field of engineering that uses optimization methods to solve design problems incorporating a number of disciplines. It is also known as multidisciplinary system design optimization (MSDO), and multidisciplinary design anal... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - Summary | 232 | 1,290 | null |
Section: History. Traditionally engineering has normally been performed by teams, each with expertise in a specific discipline, such as aerodynamics or structures. Each team would use its members' experience and judgement to develop a workable design, usually sequentially. For example, the aerodynamics experts would ou... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - History | 323 | 1,808 | null |
Section: History > Origins in structural optimization. Whereas optimization methods are nearly as old as calculus, dating back to Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler, Daniel Bernoulli, and Joseph Louis Lagrange, who used them to solve problems such as the shape of the catenary curve, numerical optimization reached prominence ... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - History > Origins in structural optimization | 172 | 909 | null |
Section: History > Gradient-based methods. There were two schools of structural optimization practitioners using gradient-based methods during the 1960s and 1970s: optimality criteria and mathematical programming. The optimality criteria school derived recursive formulas based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) necessary ... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - History > Gradient-based methods | 341 | 1,901 | null |
This approximation concepts based approach forms the basis of the optimization modules in modern structural design software. Approximations for structural optimization were initiated by the reciprocal approximation Schmit and Miura for stress and displacement response functions. Other intermediate variables were employ... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - History > Gradient-based methods | 167 | 1,007 | null |
Section: History > Recent MDO methods. MDO practitioners have investigated optimization methods in several broad areas in the last dozen years. These include decomposition methods, approximation methods, evolutionary algorithms, memetic algorithms, response surface methodology, reliability-based optimization, and multi... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - History > Recent MDO methods | 343 | 2,073 | null |
Their primary benefit lies in their ability to handle discrete design variables and the potential to find globally optimal solutions. Reliability-based optimization (RBO) is a growing area of interest in MDO. Like response surface methods and evolutionary algorithms, RBO benefits from parallel computation, because the ... | Wikipedia - Multidisciplinary design optimization - History > Recent MDO methods | 329 | 1,817 | null |
