Abstract In this paper, we extend our previous work on a goal-oriented inverse design method to carry out inverse robust design by managing the uncertainty involved. The extension embodies the introduction of specific robust design goals and new robust solution constraints anchored in the mathematical constructs of Error Margin Indices (EMIs) and Design Capability Indices (DCIs) to determine “satisficing” robust design specifications across analytical model-based process chains. Contributions in this paper include the designer’s ability to explore satisficing robust solution regions when multiple conflicting goals and multiple sources of uncertainty are present. Using the goal-oriented inverse design method, robust solutions are propagated in an inverse manner. We demonstrate the efficacy of the method and the associated robust design functionalities using an industry-inspired hot rolling and cooling process chain example problem for the production of a steel rod. In this example, we showcase the formulation of multiple mechanical property goals for the end product using the robustness metrics and the exploration of satisficing robust solutions for material microstructure after the cooling process using the robust solution constraints. The robust solutions thus identified are communicated in an inverse manner using the design method to explore satisficing robust solutions for the microstructure generated after the hot rolling process. Using the example, we demonstrate the robust co-design of material, product, and associated manufacturing processes. The method and the associated design constructs are generic and support the formulation and inverse robust design exploration under uncertainty of similar problems involving a sequential, analytical model-based flow of information across process chains.

Thermal properties of building envelopes are often described using thermal conductivity or thermal resistance. And the opposite task involves the identification of thermal parameters of building envelopes based on the measurements of their cooling process. In this article, the authors proposed a method of identifying thermal parameters of a building envelope based on cooling measurements, using a multiple regression model for this purpose. To satisfy the research objectives, two basic experiments were carried out. The first experiment was performed in laboratory conditions. The research model was a cube of the dimensions of 1.1 m × 1.1 m × 1.1 m. The second experiment was carried out in semi-real conditions, and the used model was a small house of the dimensions of 6.0 m × 4.15 m × 5.2 m. The measurement results were also used to calibrate numerical models made in the ESP-r program. The research studies have demonstrated that the model can be used to identify thermal parameters of a building envelope. Based on the measurements and simulations, the cooling equations of the object were determined and the 95% confidence interval for the heat retention index was estimated. On that basis, using the multiple regression model, such parameters of the model as density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity were estimated. It turned out that using the Gauss–Newton approximation, we obtained the correlation of the measurement results and the analytical model with the correlation coefficient of 0.9971 (for the laboratory scale). And the multiple regression improved not only the correlation between the measurement and the analytical model, but it also allowed to obtain “almost identical” results. Similarly, promising results were obtained for the semi-real scale.

Although sections of frozen salt solutions have been used as standards for x-ray microanalysis, such solutions are less useful when analysed in the bulk form. They are poor thermal and electrical conductors and severe phase separation occurs during the cooling process. Following a suggestion by Whitecross et al we have made up a series of salt solutions containing a small amount of graphite to improve the sample conductivity. In addition, we have incorporated a polymer to ensure the formation of microcrystalline ice and a consequent homogenity of salt dispersion within the frozen matrix. The mixtures have been used to standardize the analytical procedures applied to frozen hydrated bulk specimens based on the peak/background analytical method and to measure the absolute concentration of elements in developing roots.
