They are supposed to be represented in the functional requirements defining the design task.
Level I allows setting up the problem and defining the design goals.
One has to take account of this uncertainty when defining the Design Problem.
Instead the value to be maximized is the extent to which a particular design meets the functional requirements defining the design task.
The control points defining the design boundary surface are considered as the design variables of the shape optimization problem.
Classical and Bayesian set-ups are two possible ways of defining the design structure of a linear profile.
A mass balance over the reactor is carried out defining the design as a stirred tank reactor batch process, leading to the reaction rate shown in Eq. 1.
Several models are introduced by different codes defining the design procedure and the applicability conditions (ACI 318 2014; Eurocode 2 2004; CSA Standard A23.3 2004).
A central issue in earthquake engineering design is the treatment of ground motion uncertainty and the non-linear structural response for defining the design acceleration.
The different loads were combined and the abnormal/extreme environmental combination was the most unfavorable for the structure, defining the design.
