I am accelerating my plans to start a series on robust design principles because of the timely interest in the safety recall by Toyota for a sticking accelerator pedal. Many people are weighing in on ...

A crucial challenge in engineering modern, integrated systems is to produce robust designs. However, quantifying the robustness of a design is less straightforward than quantifying the robustness of ...

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 ...

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 ...
