  • The concept of robust optimization is based on Taguchi's method. Especially, robustness indices of objective function pursue an insensitive and conservative design when there are variations on design variables and parameters. To accomplish the purpose, various robustness indices on the objective function have been developed. However, it can be caused limitations to develop the robustness index, because there is difference between the Taguchi's method and robust optimization. In this paper, an investigation is performed to identify the characteristics and the drawbacks of the previous studies. To achieve the purpose, evaluations are conducted by using the examples which have both a deterministic optimum and a robust optimum. Moreover, a new viewpoint as well as a robustness index using a supremum value of the objective function is proposed based on the investigation.

  • In the robust optimization field, the robustness of the objective function emphasizes an insensitive design. In general, the robustness of the objective function can be achieved by reducing the change of the objective function with respect to the variation of the design variables and parameters. However, in conventional methods, when an insensitive design is emphasized, the performance of the objective function can be deteriorated. Besides, if the numbers of the design variables are increased, the numerical cost is quite high in robust optimization for nonlinear programming problems. In this research, the robustness index for the objective function and a process of robust optimization are proposed. Moreover, a method using the supremum of linearized functions is also proposed to reduce the computational cost. Mathematical examples are solved for the verification of the proposed method and the results are compared with those from the conventional methods. The proposed approach improves the performance of the objective function and its efficiency.

  • 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 a practical design process, the method of extracting the design space information of the complex system for verifying, improving, and optimizing the design process by taking into account the design variables and their shape tolerance is very important. Finite element analysis has been successfully implemented and integrated with design of experiment such as D-Optimal array; thus, a response surface model and optimization tools have been obtained, and design variables can be optimized by using the model and these tools. Then, to guarantee the robustness of the design variables, a robust design should be additionally performed by taking into account the statistical variation of the shape tolerance of the optimized design variables. In this study, a new approach based on the use of the response surface model is proposed; in this approach, the standard normal distribution of the shape tolerance is considered. By adopting this approach, it is possible to simultaneously optimize variables and perform a robust design. This approach can serve as a means of efficiently modeling the trade-off among many conflicting goals in the applications of finite element analysis. A case study on the robust optimal design of disc brakes under thermal loadings was carried out to solve multiple objective functions and determine the constraints of the design variables, such as a thermal deformation and weight.

  • 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 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.

  • In this study, a robust aerospace system design process for the aerospace system is developed by considering the uncertainties of user requirements, manufacturing errors, and operational environment variation. User requirements are analyzed and quantified by decision making models and system engineering methods to select alternative concepts which satisfies the various requirements. Robust design and optimization method is applied to derive the robust solution of the selected system. First, a variance of objective function is calculated, and a mean value and a variance of target value are determined by the deterministic design optimization results of the system. A robust optimum design formulation is then needed to derive the robust solution that minimizes the variance of the response and moves the mean values to the target value. It is applied to Very Light Jet (VLJ) aircraft to which much attention is paid recently in civil aerospace market.

  • 풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 경우 운용 조건에서 높은 양항비를 가지도록 설계되나 풍속, 풍향의 변동에 의해 운용조건에 변화가 발생할 경우 성능의 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 운용조건의 변동이 발생하더라도 공력 성능이 크게 변하지 않는 익형이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 운용조건의 불확실성을 고려하여 풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 신뢰성 기반 강건 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 익형 설계를 위해서 여러 익형 형상 변수들을 고려할 수 있는 익형 모델링 함수를 정의하였고 기저형상으로는 NREL에서 개발한 S809 익형을 사용하였다.

  • Various single-valued design optimality criteria such as D-, G-, and V-optimality are used often in constructing optimal experimental designs for mixture experiments in a constrained region R where lower and upper bound constraints are imposed on the ingredients proportions. Even though they are optimal in the strict sense of particular optimality criterion used, it is known that their performance is unsatisfactory with respect to the prediction capability over a constrained region. (Vining et at., 1993; Khuri et at., 1999) We assume the quadratic polynomial model as the mixture response surface model and are interested in finding efficient designs in the constrained design space for a mixture. In this paper, we make an expanded list of candidate design points by adding interior points to the extreme vertices, edge midpoints, constrained face centroids and the overall centroid. Then, we want to propose a robust design with respect to D-optimality, G-optimality, V-optimality and distance-based U-optimality. Comparing scaled prediction variance quantile plots (SPVQP) of robust designs with that of recommended designs in Khuri et al. (1999) and Vining et al. (1993) in the well-known examples of a four-component fertilizer experiment as well as McLean and Anderson's Railroad Flare Experiment, robust designs turned out to be superior to those recommended designs.
