  2. 1. Robust design : Accounting for uncertainties in engineering

    Author : David Lönn; Larsgunnar Nilsson; Niclas Strömberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robust optimisation; robust design; robustness; meta model; sensitivity analysis; Solid mechanics; Fastkroppsmekanik;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns optimization of structures considering various uncertainties. The overall objective is to find methods to create solutions that are optimal both in the sense of handling the typical load case and minimising the variability of the response, i.e. robust optimal designs.

  4. 2. Holistic approach in engineering design - controlling risks from accidental hazards in bridge design

    Author : Ivar Björnsson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design; codes; accidental; extreme; bridges; holistic; approach; robustness; risk; reliability; uncertainty;

    Abstract : Engineering design, in concise terms, is what engineers do using what they know. It is the underlying decision making activity that determines what is to be built and how it should be built. An ever present requirement in engineering design is that the structure should be safe.

  5. 3. Designing for Robustness

    Author : Torben Hasenkamp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Design for Six Sigma; tools; noise factors; Designing for robustness; Robust Design Methodology; practices; principles;

    Abstract : Today many companies are struggling with issues related to unwanted variation. Even though Robust Design Methodology (RDM) and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) are suitable approaches of counteracting such issues there are few industrial applications documented. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effective Sampling Design for Groundwater Transport Models

    Author : Rune Nordqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Sampling design; design robustness; D-optimality; groundwater models; parameter estimation; model discrimination; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Hydrology; hydrologi;

    Abstract : Model reliability is important when groundwater models are used for evaluation of environmental impact and water resource management. Model attributes such as geohydrologic units and parameter values need to be quantified in order to obtain reliable results. READ MORE

  7. 5. Evaluating the Effects of Variation on Product Appearance through Visual Robustness

    Author : Karin Nordvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product experience; visual quality appearance; visual sensitivity; optical quality; industrial design; perceived quality; craftsmanship; robust design; non-nominal visualization; geometrical variation; visual robustness;

    Abstract : For consumer products where the product appearance plays an important role in meeting expectations, the visible effects of manufacturing variation can have a negative influence on the product experience. A concomitant of mass production is that no manufactured units are exactly identical, as a result of variation. READ MORE
