Sensitivity Analysis-Based Optimization: A Case Study with the MTBF of an Aeronautical Hydraulic Pipeline System

The complex layout and harsh working environment often encountered in aeronautical hydraulic pipeline system (AHPS) result in the requirement of a large number of constraints that are mainly utilized to avoid the damage caused by engine vibration and wing flutter. As a result, improvement of the mean time between failures (MTBF) of the AHPS considering all constraint locations is a costly process, and the management of such large-scale design...
