Multiobjective approaches for robust electomagnetic design

Robust optimization problems are inherently multiobjective, because the designer searches for compromise solutions between the mathematical model and possible uncertainties when constructing the physical device. We propose a novel formulation that consists of the employment of a multiobjective approach for robust design. The proposed methodology is applied to two practical problems: the design of a loudspeaker and the design of a superconducting magnetic storage device. The results provide more alternatives to the decision maker, confirming the usefulness and benefit of the approach.
