Consideration of Worst-Case Manufacturing Tolerances in Design Optimization

Abstract
The paper discusses the effect of manufacturing tolerances for the design variables on the solution to an optimization problem. Two formulations of the tolerance problem in an optimization context are presented. Linearization is employed to reduce the problems to quadratic and linear programming problems. The formulations and solutions of the two tolerance problems are illustrated with an example application.
