Automating aircraft manufacturing still relies heavily on human labor due to the complexity of the assembly processes and customization requirements. One key challenge is achieving precise positioning, especially for large aircraft…

This paper investigates the generative designing of a bracket that aids in the rotation of a linkage mounted on it with a revolute joint. Generative design is a term that is generally used when we care about weight reduction and performance…

Many important economic outcomes result from the combined effects of several choices, so the best option is not determined from each choice in isolation, but depends on how each choice alters total outcomes. We formally show that narrow…
