In this paper, we propose a design procedure for determining the gate position robust to changes and inherent fluctuations in the process conditions during injection molding. To evaluate the robustness of the gate position, the signal-to-noise ratio is used, and noise conditions are implemented using orthogonal arrays, where the process variables are considered as noise factors and possible process fluctuations are set as the levels of the noise factors. To show the usefulness of the proposed robust design procedure, we apply it to a computer CPU baseplate. As a result, it is shown that a robust gate position can be determined that reduces the average warpage deflection by 2.4% and 1.7%, and the variance by 3.4% and 5.1%, compared to the two initial gate positions.

This paper is devoted to the parameter optimization of unmanned aerial vehicle's (UAV) flight control laws. Optimization procedure is based on the ideas of mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control of multi-model plants. By using this approach, some partial $H_2$-terms defining the performance of nominal and parametrically perturbed Flight Control System (FCS) responses to deterministic command signals in stochastic atmosphere as well as $H_{\infty}$-terms defining robustness of the FCS can be incorporated in the composite cost function. Special penalty function imposed on the location of closed-loop system's poles keeps the speed of response and oscillatory properties for both nominal and perturbed FCS in reasonable limits. That is the reason why this procedure may provide reasonable trade-off between the performance and robustness of FCS that are very important especially for UAV. Its practical importance is illustrated by case studies of lateral and longitudinal control of small UAV.

It is well kmown that the $L_1$-estimator is robust with respect to vertical outliers in regression data, even if it is susceptible to bad leverage points. This article is concerned with the robustness of the $L_1$-estimator. To investigate its robustness against vertical outliers we may find intervals for the value of the response variable within which the $L_1$-estimates do not shange. A procedure for constructing those intervals in multiple limear regression is illustrated in the sensitivity analysis context. And then vertical breakdown point of the $L_1$-estimator is defined on the basis of properties related to those intervals.

This paper is concerned with applicability of two-degree-of-freedom controllers to the recently suggested i-PID controllers, in which unknown parts of the plant are taken into account without any modeling procedure. First, i-PID controller with two-degree-of-freedom is applied to a specific model, called Anisochronic model, to confirm the usefulness of this method. Second, using the original examples of i-PID controllers, it is confirmed that performance/robustness of system are to be improved due to two-degree-of-freedom, especially when the input changes suddenly. It is seen that as the desired robustness increases the optimal value of two-degree-of-freedom parameter ${\alpha}_A$ would be negative. It is checked and verified that if this value was limited to 1 or less as is generally known, performance would be degraded.

In general, the coarse classifying procedure splits the values of a continuous characteristic into bands and the values of a discrete characteristic into groups of values. Coarse classifying improves the robustness of the credit scoring system but it is complicate and troublesome procedure. Thus, in this paper, we develop a software for coarse classifying by using Visual Basic Language. By using the developed software, we can find the best split easily. Also, this software will help learners to study credit scoring.

Using simple linear prediction algorithm a design procedure of robust PI and PID controllers for SISO system, usually called 'PID predictor controllers, is developed. The design procedure is able to properly adjust gain margin and phase margin and control coefficients are selected in frequency domain. The performance of the PID predictor controller is superior to that of the normal PID controller in terms of robustness in design and disturbance rejection.

The rebustness of one sample Chi-square test for multivariate normal mean vector is investigated when the multivariate normal population is mixed with another multivariate normal population with differing in the mean vector. Explicit expressions for the level of significance and power of the test are derived. Some numerical results indicate that the Chi-square test procedure is quite robust against slight mixtures of multivariate normal populations differing in location parameters.

Variance components model appears often in designing experiments including time series data analysis. This paper is investigating the properties of the various procedures in estimating variance components for the two-way random model without interaction under normality. In this age of computer-oriented computations, MINQUE is found to be quite practicla because of the robustness with respect to the design configurations and parameters. Also adjusted AOV type estimation procedure is found to yield superior results over the unadjusted one.

In this paper we present a simple and efficient robust optimal design formulation for MEMS structures and its application to a resonant-type micro probe. The basic idea is to use the gradient index (GI) to improve robustness of the objective and constraint functions. In the robust optimal design procedure, a deterministic optimization for performance of MEMS structures is followed by design sensitivity analysis with respect to uncertainties such as fabrication errors and change of operating conditions. During the process of deterministic optimization and sensitivity analysis, dominant performance and uncertain variables are identified to define GI. The GI is incorporated as a term of objective and constraint functions in the robust optimal design formulation to make both performance and robustness improved. While most previous approaches for robust optimal design require statistical information on design variations, the proposed GI based method needs no such information and therefore is cost-effective and easily applicable to early design stages. For the micro probe example, robust optimums are obtained to satisfy the targets for the measurement sensitivity and they are compared in terms of robustness and production yield with the deterministic optimums through the Monte Carlo simulation. This method, although shown for MEMS structures, may as well be easily applied to conventional mechanical structures where information on uncertainties is lacking but robustness is highly important.
