Risk-based design optimization under hybrid uncertainties

The rapidly changing requirements of engineering optimization problems require unprecedented levels of compatibility to integrate diverse uncertainty information to search optimum among design region. The sophisticated optimization methods tackling uncertainty involve reliability-based design optimization and robust design optimization. In this paper, a novel alternative approach called risk-based design optimization (RiDO) has been proposed to counterpoise design results and costs under hybrid uncertainties. In this approach, the conditional value at risk (CVaR) is adopted for quantification of the hybrid uncertainties. Then, a CVaR estimation method based on Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) scenario generation approach is derived to measure the risk levels of the objective and constraint functions. The RiDO under hybrid uncertainties is established and leveraged to determine the optimal scheme which satisfies the risk requirement. Three examples with different calculation complexity are provided to verify the developed approach.
