On the Role of Robustness in Multi-Objective Robust Optimization: Application to an IPM Motor Design Problem

This paper discusses the different roles that robustness can assume when solving a multi-objective design optimization problem. A new role for robustness in multi-objective design optimization problems is proposed based on which an approach to conducting multi-objective robust optimization and finding the robust optima is suggested. This new approach is then tested on an internal permanent magnet motor design problem and the results are presented.
