Abstract

Considering uncertainty is an Inseparable part of industrial design. Ignoring these uncertainties in design can reduce system performance and, even worse, lead to failing the mission entirely in some cases. In the present study, the worst-case optimization adopted is used to design of hydrogen peroxide propulsion system. The proposed method in this study includes two types of epistemic and aleatory uncertainty. This method searches for the optimal point using the genetic algorithm by separating design parameters and variables for all three types of sparse points, single-interval and multi-interval uncertainty representations. The designer is ineffective in choosing the type of distribution, and the type of distribution is determined depending on the available data. In other words, even uncertainty in the type of distribution and its parameters has been considered. Also, the method of maximum likelihood-based is used to estimate the distribution parameters.
