“…The non-cooperative protocol enables separation of design and manufacturing, but the solution process is tedious and difficult; in some cases, the solution may not converge. Furthermore, non-cooperative or leader/follower solutions are not necessarily Pareto efficient, although Hernandez and coauthors have suggested a technique for obtaining Pareto efficient solutions for these protocols (Hernandez et al 2002a(Hernandez et al , 2002b. The authors recommend the use of a leader/follower protocol to facilitate the separation of design and manufacturing activities because it accommodates scenarios in which one engineering team dominates the decisionmaking process.…”

“…The reliability of a mechanical system depends on its design, the quality of its components, and its maintenance. However, maintenance is typically considered during product design in an ad hoc, ineffective manner, leading to unnecessary life-cycle costs [37].…”

This chapter looks at the overall theme of automating maintenance practices with a particular focus upon the application of robotics within this field. Covering the current state of the art in automating maintenance processes this chapter also looks at the current challenges to moving beyond simple inspection and diagnosis to the design and construction of fully automated platforms for undertaking maintenance. This includes methodologies for capturing and classifying maintenance task processes so that they can be automated in some way and how to link this task classification with some level of automation. The chapter ends with a discussion on how the design process can be adapted to aid automated maintenance, self-healing and no fault found applications.

Low density, prismatic cellular materials have a combination of properties that make them suitable for multifunctional or multi-physics applications such as ultralight load-bearing combined with energy absorption and heat transfer. In this work, non-uniform, graded cellular materials are designed to achieve superior thermal and structural performance. A general multifunctional design approach is presented that integrates multiobjective decision-making with multi-physics analysis tools of structural and heat transfer performance. Approximate analysis models for heat transfer and elastic stiffness are utilized to analyze designs efficiently. Search/solution algorithms are used to solve multiobjective decisions by interfacing with customized and commercial software. During the design process, cell topology is assumed to be rectangular, but aspect ratios and dimensions of cells and cell walls are varied. Two design scenarios are considered -maximum convective heat transfer and inplane elastic stiffness in the first case and maximum convective heat transfer and elastic buckling strength in the second case. A portfolio of heat exchanger designs is generated with both periodic and functionally graded cells. Both single-and multi-objective performance are considered, and tradeoffs are assessed between thermal and structural performance. Generalization of this approach is discussed for broader materials design applications in which material structures and processing paths are designed to achieve targeted properties and performance characteristics within a larger overall systems design process, and process-structure-property-performance relations are manifested on a hierarchy of length and time scales. Frame of reference: Designing multifunctional, prismatic cellular materialsMaterials design has traditionally involved selecting a suitable material for a given application. Presently, a paradigm shift is underway in which the classical materials selection approach is replaced by design of material microstructure or mesostructure to achieve certain performance requirements, subject to constraints on properties such as density, strength, conductivity, etc. Mechanics models play a central role in evaluating and predicting the performance metrics necessary to support design of heterogeneous materials. By utilizing these models along with systems-based design methods, material microstructure or mesostructure can be tailored or designed for specific performance requirements associated with applications of interest.
