Review of Metamodeling Techniques in Support of Engineering Design Optimization

G. Gary Wang, S. Shan · 4 May 2006

Computation-intensive design problems are becoming increasingly common in manufacturing industries. The computation burden is often caused by expensive analysis and simulation processes in order to reach a comparable level of accuracy as physical testing data. To address such a challenge, approximation or metamodeling techniques are often used. Metamodeling techniques have been developed from many different…

Sequential Optimization and Reliability Assessment Method for Efficient Probabilistic Design

Xiaoping Du, Wei Chen · 1 Mar 2004

Probabilistic design, such as reliability-based design and robust design, offers tools for making reliable decisions with the consideration of uncertainty associated with design variables/parameters and simulation models. Since a probabilistic optimization often involves a double-loop procedure for the overall optimization and iterative probabilistic assessment, the computational demand is extremely high. In this paper, the sequential…

A Contact Force Model With Hysteresis Damping for Impact Analysis of Multibody Systems

Hamid M. Lankarani, Parviz E. Nikravesh · 1 Sep 1990

A continuous contact force model for the impact analysis of a two-particle collision is presented. The model uses the general trend of the Hertz contact law. A hysteresis damping function is incorporated in the model which represents the dissipated energy in impact. The parameters in the model are determined, and the validity of the model…

A New Study on Reliability-Based Design Optimization

Jian Tu, Kyung K. Choi, Y. H. Park · 1 Dec 1999

This paper presents a general approach for probabilistic constraint evaluation in the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO). Different perspectives of the general approach are consistent in prescribing the probabilistic constraint, where the conventional reliability index approach (RIA) and the proposed performance measure approach (PMA) are identified as two special cases. PMA is shown to be inherently…

A Global Performance Index for the Kinematic Optimization of Robotic Manipulators

Clément Gosselin, Jorge Angeles · 1 Sep 1991

In this paper, a novel performance index for the kinematic optimization of robotic manipulators is presented. The index is based on the condition number of the Jacobian matrix of the manipulator, which is known to be a measure of the amplification of the errors due to the kinematic and static transformations between the joint and…

Journal of Mechanical Design template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Mechanical Design format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Mechanical Design template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official ASME format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Mechanical Design use?
Journal of Mechanical Design uses Numbered (ASME) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C., 2023, "A Representative Article Title," Journal of Mechanical Design, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Mechanical Design?
No. DocuGuru generates the asmejour LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a ASME-ready Journal of Mechanical Design document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Mechanical Design template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Mechanical Design format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Journal of Mechanical Design?
ASME Journal of Mechanical Design. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by ASME.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Mechanical Design PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Mechanical Design template (the asmejour class) that is ready to submit to ASME, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Mechanical Design template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Mechanical Design template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Mechanical Design PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
