Abstract
The robust design optimization (RDO) is an effective method to
improve product performance with uncertainty factors. The robust optimal solution should be not only satisfied the probabilistic constraints but also less sensitive
to the variation of design variables. There are some important issues in RDO, such
as how to judge robustness, deal with multi-objective problem and black-box
situation. In this paper, two criteria are proposed to judge the deterministic optimal solution whether satisfies robustness requirment. The robustness measure
based on maximum entropy is proposed. Weighted sum method is improved to
deal with the objective function, and the basic framework of metamodel assisted
robust optimization is also provided for improving the efficiency. Finally, several
engineering examples are used to verify the advantages.
