Designing a system for fault tolerance is a robust design principle for building systems that will continue to operate correctly or in an acceptable degraded fashion. This approach is appropriate for ...

Mathematical optimization plays an important role in engineering design, leading to greatly improved performance. Deterministic optimization however, can lead to undesired choices because it neglects ...

Before diving deeper into the fault tolerance robust design principle, I will present three other robust design principles. This post will address what I call the Sandbox principle; although, I have ...

What is robust design optimization (RDO), and is it better than standard optimization? In this customer case, we describe a multi-disciplinary optimization of a turbocharger compressor from Ford Motor ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

In multiple-target systems, the signal factor is varied based on the signal-response relationship to achieve different targets for the response specified by the customer. Robust parameter design aims ...
