Multiobjective Approach for Solving Engineering Robust Design Problems

  • 217 Accesses

Part of the Studies in Computational Intelligence book series (SCI,volume 961)

Abstract

An approach for Engineering Robust Design Problems based on multi-objective optimization in the solution phase is presented in this paper. The task for optimizing conflicting parameters arises very often when solving design problems. Therefore including new approaches resolving these cases is a live question. One of the advantages of multiobjective approach is that it allows simultaneously research of several conflicting parameters/objectives. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated by solving the real task of conceptual design of a bulk carrier. The goal is to find the set of main particulars of the ship that minimize together the Required Freight Rate (RFR) and variance due to uncontrollable parameters. The design variables are the main dimensions of the ship – length, breadth, depth, draught and block coefficient. The uncontrollable parameters are the price of a ton hull structures and fuel. The objective functions are obtained by computer experiments based on Response Surface Methodology.
