A key feature of a quality-designed technical system is that it not just works as intended but is a reliably operating solution requiring minimal implementation resources. An extensive optimisation process is normally required to find the design parameters that produce such a solution. The ultimate objective of the optimisation is to determine the set of parameters that allows for maximising the system performance subject to satisfying prescribed constraints. It is important to note that real-world system parameters come with their associated uncertainties. These uncertainties must be accounted for by integrating an additional procedure of reliability and robustness analyses into the design optimisation framework. This is particularly important for systems aimed at high-importance or mission-critical applications.
This monograph introduces several recently developed and applied analytical-based theoretical approaches and practical techniques for uncertainty evaluation and probabilistic design optimisation for the robustness and reliability of technical systems of various complexity and applications. This is enhanced by the inclusion of relevant real-world case studies.
This is a useful text for researchers, engineers, and designers of complex, multi-parameter technical systems that must guarantee a specified level of functional reliability. It will present several real-world case studies helping to comprehend in detail the developed techniques and their benefits. In addition, it will offer free access to the online toolboxes developed by the authors to support the calculation of uncertainties and will guide the readers on the practical use of such tools.
