Abstract

Robust optimization or reliability-based design optimization are some of the methodologies that are employed to take into account the uncertainties of a system at the design stage. For applying such methodologies to solve industrial problems, accurate and efficient methods for estimating statistical moments and failure probability are required, and further, the results of sensitivity analysis, which is needed for searching direction during the optimization process, should also be accurate. The aim of this study is to employ the function approximation moment method into the sensitivity analysis formulation, which is expressed as an integral form, to verify the accuracy of the sensitivity results, and to solve a typical problem of reliability-based design optimization. These results are compared with those of other moment methods, and the feasibility of the function approximation moment method is verified. The sensitivity analysis formula with integral form is the efficient formulation for evaluating sensitivity because any additional function calculation is not needed provided the failure probability or statistical moments are calculated.

설계단계에서 시스템의 불확실성을 반영하려는 노력이 다양하게 이루어지고 있으며, 강건 최적설계 혹은 신뢰도 기반 최적설계는 이에 대한 대표적인 설계 방법론이다. 실제 문제에 이러한 방법론을 적용하기 위해서는 성능함수의 통계적 모멘트와 손상확률에 대한 정확하고 효율적인 추정 방법이 필요하고, 더불어 최적화를 위한 방향탐색과정에서 요구되는 민감도 해석의 정확성 및 효율성이 확보되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 함수근사모멘트 방법을 기존에 유도된 적분 형태의 민감도 해석 식에 적용하여 그 민감도 해석 결과의 정확성을 확인하고, 이를 대표적인 신뢰도 기반 최적설계 문제에 적용하고자 한다. 민감도 해석 결과 및 신뢰도 기반 최적설계 결과를 타방법의 결과와 비교하여 함수근사모멘트 방법의 타당성을 입증하고자 한다. 활용된 적분 형태의 민감도 해석은 손상확률 혹은 통계적 모멘트가 계산된 경우 추가적인 함수 계산 없이 민감도를 얻을 수 있는 효율적인 방법이다.
