Balance between Reliability and Robustness in Engine Cooling System Optimal Design

Durability and reliability in diesel engine system design

“…Other engine reliability studies can be found in Pendola et al (2003), Rahman et al (2007), and Kokkolaras et al (2005).…”

The analytical design process and diesel engine system design

“…More in-depth discussions on reliability in engine system design are provided in Chapter 2. The fundamentals on reliability can be found in Ireson et al (1996), Bignonnet and Thomas (2001), Kuehnel et al (2005), Dodson and Schwab (2006), Klyatis and Klyatis (2006), Rahman et al (2007), Zhou and Li (2009), and Klyatis (2010).…”

Optimization techniques in diesel engine system design

“…In fact, either a higher or lower failure rate is undesirable because neither under-design nor over-design is acceptable. More information on the RBDO theory can be found in Gu and Yang (2003), Liang (2005, 2006), Rahman et al (2007), and Donders et al (2007).…”

“…As a design solution, they changed the mean and the standard deviation of the input factors in order to move the probability distribution curve of the top tank temperature to meet the reliability target. Rahman et al (2007) used multi-objective robust-RBDO to maximize the cooling system performance and simultaneously minimize its standard deviation under the probabilistic reliability constraints. The two objectives used were the mean performance and its variation.…”
