Using a deterministic design optimization, the effect of uncertainty can result in violation of constraints and deterioration of performances. For this reason, design optimization is required to guarantee reliability for constraints and ensure robustness for an objective function under uncertainty. Therefore, this study drew Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS) for the evaluation of reliability and robustness, and selected an artificial neural network as an approximate model that is suitable for MCS. Applying to the aero-structural optimization problem of aircraft wing, we can explore robuster optima satisfying the sigma level of reliability than the baseline.

In this study a method for a robust design of mechanisms is proposed. The method used in the experimental anlysis and quqlity engineering is applied for mechanisms design. A mathematical model for a mechanism is estimated by the responese surface analysis and the robust design can be carried out. The method can be applied for mechanisms generally. Furthermore because the method can be used in the design stage using the computer model, improved quality and lower cost of the product is achieved even in the design stage.

Robust design pioneered by Dr. G. Taguchi has been applied to versatile engineering problems for improving quality. Since 1980s, the Taguchi method has been introduced to numerical optimization, complementing the deficiencies of deterministic optimization, which is often called the robust optimization. In this study, the robust optimization strategy is proposed by considering the robustness of objective and constraint functions. The statistics of responses in the functions are surrogated by kriging models. In addition, objective and/or constraint function is represented by the probability of success, thus facilitating robust optimization. The mathematical problem and the two-bar design problem are investigated to show the validity of the proposed method.

강건설계(robust design)는 낮은 비용으로 잡음에 강건한 고품질의 제품이나 공정을 설계하는 체계적이고 효율적인 방법이다. 그러나 강건설계의 과정 중 비표준 직교배열의 사용과 교호인자을 포함한 실험계획은 다소 복잡하고, 전문지식이 필요한 부분으로 비전문가에는 난해한 작업이다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 표준직교배열의 변형과 선점도를 이용하여 교호인자를 직교배열의 열에 자동으로 할당하는 전문가시스템 prototype을 개발하였다. 사용자가 수준별 인자수와 교호작용의 유무를 입력하면, 시스템은 적절한 직교배열을 선정하여 필요에 따라 변형하며, 제어인자와 교호작용을 직교배열표에 자동으로 할당하여 출력한다. 개발된 시스템을 사용함으로써 초보자도 직교배열을 쉽게 변형할 수 있으며 다수의 교호인자를 포함한 실험계획을 빠르게 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 이용된 지식은 문헌에서 추출하였으며, 추론 전략으로는 규칙기반추론(rule-based reasoning)을 이용하였다.

The performance of a system can be affected by various variables such as manufacturing tolerances, uncertainties of material properties, and environmental factors acting on the system. Robust design optimization has attracted much attention in the design of products because it can find the best design solution that minimizes the variance of the response while considering the distribution of the variables. However, the computational cost and accuracy of optimization have thus far been a challenging problem. In this study, robust design optimization using the multiplicative decomposition method is proposed in order to solve these problems. Because the proposed method calculates the mean and variance of the system directly from the kriging metamodel using the multiplicative decomposition method, it can be used to search for a robust optimum design accurately and efficiently. Several mathematical and engineering examples are used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

The ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ mine has irregularly developed stratum around the ore body. The purpose of this study is to array irregular stratum thickness systematically for effective roof bolting and to implement a supporting system corresponding to it. The number of 81 cases combined with stratum thicknesses was limited to 9 cases by robust design. For each case, the load height which can act as a roof load was determined by the characteristics of stratum and RMR. The load range due to the load height is calculated assuming block shaped and arch shape. The support load of the roof bolt was considered as the average load of the two methods. Numerical analysis results of the support design showed that the cable bolt was more effective for the roof supporting fully grouted than the anchoring type. As a result of the construction, it was possible to control the roof, but all of the roof was gradually sinking downward due to the deformation of the side wall of the mine tunnel.

결정적인 알고리즘과 입력정보의 사용은 평가된 해석과 실제 시스템 값과의 차이로 잘못된 결론을 이끌지도 모른다. 실제 시스템은 대부분 각각의 입력 매개변수들(input parameters)과 관계된 넓은 공차 영역(tolerance band)을 가지고 있어서 입력정보로 하나의 단일한 값을 할당하는 것이 어렵다. 단일 입력에 대한 한가지 해는 변동의 이해 없이 제한된 값이라는 것을 인식할 필요가 있는데 대개 결정론적 설계는 형상과 관련된 치수변동, 항복강도나 부재의 밀도, 탄성계수와 같은 재료 물성치의 불확실성(uncertainty)과 시스템에 작용하는 하중의 변동 등을 직접 고려하지 않고 설계를 수행하기 때문에 수용할 수 있는 오차의 범위 안에서 시스템의 응답을 정확히 평가하기가 쉽지 않았다.(중략)

In this paper, an efficient robust design utilizing an enhanced Taguchi method is proposed to reduce cogging torque of a BLDC motor in the presence of design uncertainty. To overcome defects of the conventional Taguchi method in dealing with a generalized robust design problem, a penalty function and an optimal level searching technique are newly introduced. In order to verify the proposed method, a 5 kW, rated speed of 2,300 rpm, rated torque of 20 Nm BLDC motor for driving electric vehicles is optimized. Then, the robust design is compared with conceptual and deterministic ones in terms of the cogging torque, rated torque and torque ripple.

The performance of a system can be affected by the variance of noise factors, which arise owing to uncertainties of the material properties and environmental factors acting on the system. For robust design optimization of the system performance, it is necessary to minimize the effect of the variance of the noise factors that are impossible to control. However, present robust design techniques consider the variation of design factors, and not the noise factors, as being important. Furthermore, it is necessary to assume a normal distribution; however, a normal distribution is often not suitable to estimate the variations. In this study, a robust design technique is proposed to consider the variation of noise factors that are estimated as non-normal distributions in a real experiment. As an example of an engineering problem, a deep-sea manganese nodule miner tracked vehicle is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
