Abstract

The paper presents an investigation of the accuracy of surrogate models for systems with uncertainties, where the uncertain parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers. Since the underlying fuzzy arithmetic using alpha-level optimisation requires a large number of system evaluations, the use of numerically expensive systems becomes prohibitive with a higher number of fuzzy parameters. However, this problem can be overcome by employing less expensive surrogate models, where the accuracy of the surrogate depends strongly on the choice of the sampling points. In order to fnd a sufciently accurate surrogate model with as few as possible sampling points, the infuence of various sampling strategies on the accuracy of the fuzzy evaluation is investigated. As well suited for fuzzy systems, the newly developed Fuzzy Oriented Sampling Shift method is presented and compared with established sampling strategies. For the surrogate models radial basis functions and a Kriging model are employed. As test cases, the Branin and the Camelback function with fuzzy parameters are used, which demonstrate the varying accuracy for diferent sampling strategies. A more application oriented example of a fnite element simulation of a deep drawing process is given in the end
