“…According to the matrix theory, the norm of the performance variation Y (d = d i , p) in (11) may be expressed as (12) Obviously, if the upper bound of the performance variation in the inequality (12) is small, then the performance variation will be small and, thus, the system is robust. Thus, this robust design can be formulated as the minimization of its upper bound.…”

If no external control is employed, the cure performance will be fully dependent on the oven design. Design of such a system is challenging because of its inherent complexity: complex heat transfer, unknown relationship between design variable and curing performance, unknown boundary conditions and large parameter variation, and so on. In this paper, a novel data-based robust design approach is proposed to design a new curing oven with simple structure. First, a modeling method with hybrid singular value decomposition and response surface method is developed to extract the system model from experimental data. The coupling influence between design variable and model parameter is also separated to make the design simpler, because only the part affected by design variable will be considered in the design. A robust design method is then developed to minimize the influence of parameter variation on the performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in the design of the new curing oven.Index Terms-Design for manufacture, design methodology, semiconductor device manufacture, semiconductor device modeling.

“…A popular robust design method is the model-based robust design, which mainly includes two categories [9]: probabilistic robust design approaches [10]- [12] and deterministic robust design approaches [13]- [16]. However, these types of methods cannot design an unknown system since they require an accurate model.…”

For hydropower stations with sloping ceiling tailrace tunnel (SCTT), the regulation quality of hydro-turbine governing system (HTGS) under the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) strategy is poor. In order to improve the regulation quality of HTGS, the nonlinear disturbance decoupling control (NDDC) based on differential geometry theory is firstly applied into the HTGS with SCTT. The rigorous and complete construction method of nominal output function is proposed. Based on the obtained nominal output function, a novel NDDC strategy for HTGS with SCTT is designed. The application and performance of NDDC strategy on HTGS with SCTT are revealed. The results indicate that the regulation quality of the HTGS with SCTT under NDDC strategy is obviously better than that under PID strategy. The NDDC strategy has a favorable applicability on SCTT. The robustness of the HTGS with SCTT under NDDC strategy is excellent. In real engineering cases, the NDDC strategy can be adopted to optimize the design of the governor and improve the power supply quality of hydropower station.

“…Standard OA is basically derived from linear graph of number of variables and levels; the ones most often used are L 4 (2 3 ), L 8 (2 7 ), L 9 (3 4 ), L 25 (5 6 ), and L 49 (7 8 ) [7]. Once the suitable orthogonal array for experimentation is selected, then the experiments are conducted for the identified conditions and the results are analyzed using statistical methods, such as Pareto-ANOVA, ANOVA, or response curves to identify the optimal parameters for performance enhancement [7,11,15,16].…”

Hydrodynamic parameters play a major role in the dynamics and control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The performance of an AUV is dependent on the parameter variations and a proper understanding of these parametric influences is essential for the design, modeling, and control of high-performance AUVs. In this paper, the sensitivity of hydrodynamic parameters on the control of a flatfish type AUV is analyzed using robust design techniques such as Taguchi's design method and statistical analysis tools such as Pareto-ANOVA. Since the pitch angle of an AUV is one of the crucial variables in the control applications, the sensitivity analysis of pitch angle variation is studied here. Eight prominent hydrodynamic coefficients are considered in the analysis. The results show that there are two critical hydrodynamic parameters, that is, hydrodynamic force and hydrodynamic pitching moment in the heave direction that influence the performance of a flatfish type AUV. A near-optimal combination of the parameters was identified and the simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the method in reducing the pitch error. These findings are significant for the design modifications as well as controller design of AUVs.
