Robust Multiscale Design Using PATC and WSRSM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Multiscale design dealing with 2-scale material and product system is implemented by employing probabilistic analytical target cascading (PATC) and weighted stochastic response surface method (WSRSM) in this paper. PATC allows design autonomy at each scale subsystem by formulating the multiscale design system as a multilevel structure. WSRSM ensures uncertainties to be propagated within and across each scale accurately and efficiently. Comparative study on a multiscale bracket design problem shows that the results obtained by our strategy are very close to the reference values. It is demonstrated that PATC and WSRSM are highly effective and applicable on multiscale design.
