Query: Quantifying "Cliffs" in Design Space   This paper studies the regions of parameter space of engineering design in
which performance is sensitive to design parameters. Some of these parameters
(for example, the dimensions and compositions of components) constitute the
design, but others are intrinsic properties of materials or Nature. The paper
is concerned with narrow regions of parameter space, "cliffs", in which
performance (some measure of the final state of a system, such as ignition or
non-ignition of a flammable gas, or failure or non-failure of a ductile
material subject to tension) is a sensitive function of the parameters. In
these regions performance is also sensitive to uncertainties in the parameters.
This is particularly important for intrinsically indeterminate systems, those
whose performance is not predictable from measured initial conditions and is
not reproducible.
