Trautmann, Work Roll Cooling System Design Optimisation in Presence of Uncertainty, Proceedings of the 19th CIRP Design Conference – Competitive Design, Cranfield University, 30-31 March 2009, pp57978-0-9557436-4-1http://hdl.handle.net/1826/3776Organised by: Cranfield UniversityThe paper presents a framework to optimise the design of work roll based on the cooling performance. The framework develops Meta models from a set of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the roll cooling. A design of experiment technique is used to identify the FEA runs. The research also identifies sources of uncertainties in the design process. A robust evolutionary multi-objective algorithm is applied to the design optimisation I order to identify a set of good solutions in the presence of uncertainties both in the decision and objective spaces.enCopyright: Cranfield University 2009Roll cooling designUncertaintyDesign optimisationMulti-objective optimisationConference paper
