Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a field of research that studies the application of numerical optimization techniques to the design of engineering systems involving multiple disciplines or components. Since the inception of MDO, various methods (architectures) have been developed and applied to solve MDO problems. This paper provides a survey of all the architectures that have been presented in the literature so far. All architectures are explained in detail using a unified description that includes optimization problem statements, diagrams, and detailed algorithms. The diagrams show both data and process flow through the multidisciplinary system and computational elements, which facilitates the understanding of the various architectures, and how they relate to each other.A classification of the MDO architectures based on their problem formulations and decomposition strategies is also provided, and the benefits and drawbacks of the architectures are discussed from both a theoretical and experimental perspective. For each architecture, several applications to the solution of engineering design problems are cited. The result is a comprehensive but straightforward introduction to MDO for non-specialists, and a reference detailing all current MDO architectures for specialists.

[Abstract] The paper deals with the optimal design of road vehicles and their subsystems. The highly competitive nature of the automotive industry demands constant product innovation and reduction in product development both in time and cost while satisfying performance and legal requirements. Optimization procedures provide a scientific approach to automatically determine the most efficient designs under the target operating environment. Particular attention is devoted to the class of methods pertaining to complex system design optimization, as well as the approaches for the optimal design of complex systems under uncertainty. A critical review of the optimization methods used for solving road vehicle system design problems is reported. Some examples of design optimization are given in the field of vehicle system dynamics, powertrain design, internal combustion engine design, active and passive safety, vehicle system design and lightweight structures, advanced automotive electronics.
