Multidisciplinary Design Optimization: Methods and Applications
Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is a methodology for the design of complex, coupled engineering systems, such as aircraft, the behavior of which is governed by interacting physical phenomena. MDO's aim is to improve and speed up the design process, and to lower the cost of complex systems. MDO is recent to applied mathematics, but has been in the development stage for a number of years in engineering. Due to the complexity and size of the problems, MDO is only now beginning to show its potential and it would benefit from closer interaction among the practitioners of engineering and applied mathematics. The aim of the minisymposium is to bring these two groups together and share recent advances.
