Keywords: multidisciplinary optimization [MDO], uniform design [UD]

The low efficiency in the application of existing multidisciplinary design optimization(MDO) algorithms to realistic engineering problems is pointed out. The reason for the low efficiency is explained in detail. The uniform design(UD) theory is combined with the response surface method(RSM) to construct a more practical MDO algorithm..
