Conceptual engineering design and optimization methodologies using geometric programming
… transformation of physics- and data-based engineering relations into GP-compatible constraints by systematically formulating an aircraft design model. We motivate the difference-of-convex GP extension called signomial programs (SPs) in order to extend the scope and fidelity of the model. We …

Assimilating Non-Probabilistic Assessments of the Estimation of Uncertainty Bias in Expert Judgment Elicitation Using an Evidence Based Approach in High Consequence Conceptual Designs
<p>One of the major challenges in conceptual designs of complex systems is the identification of uncertainty embedded in the information due to lack of historic data. This becomes of increased concern especially in high-risk industries. This document reports a developed methodology that allows for …

Meaning change, in theory and in practice
… meaning change of the sort advocated in conceptual engineering and amelioration. The question addressed is not what our concept, say, WOMAN, is, but what our concept should be. I bring to bear underappreciated empirical constraints on this normative project. Usage finely reflects …

An effective optimisation method for multifactor and reliability-related structural design problems
… strength and stiffness, and structural mass for conceptual engineering structural designs. The procedure employs a multi-objective and multi-disciplinary (MO–MD) optimisation method (multifactor optimisation of structure techniques, MOST) which is coupled with finite element analysis (FEA) as an …

Iconoclasm, Protestant Aesthetics, and the Meaning of Making in Early Modern England, 1550–1600
… experience. In so far as creative production, conceptual engineering, and material fashioning all remain a staple of multiple spheres of meaning, the focus and identity of this thesis resides at the tangencies between intellectual and cultural history, as well as the history of art. In …
