The frequency reliability sensitivity in the stochastic dynamic structure system and reliability-based robust design were studied deeply in this paper. With the criterion that the absolute value of the difference between natural frequency and forcing frequency, the frequency reliability method of avoiding resonance was proposed. Then frequency reliability sensitivity theory was presented, which provided a preliminary efficient way to analyze how each random parameter contributed to the system reliability. Moreover, the frequency reliability-based robust design method was obtained by robust and optimization technology on the basis of the frequency reliability and sensitivity research in the paper, which helped designers to establish acceptable parameter values and to determine the fluctuations of the parameters for the safe operations. Meanwhile, a numerical example of the random vibration system of continuous rod was provided and studied. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed methods were well demonstrated.

Axial piston pumps (APPs) are the core energy conversion components in a hydraulic transmission system. Energy conversion efficiency is critically important for the performance and energy-saving of the pumps. In this paper, a time-varying reliability design method for the overall efficiency of APPs was established. The theoretical and practical instantaneous torque and flow rate of the whole APP were derived through comprehensive analysis of a single piston-slipper group. Moreover, as a case study, the developed model for the instantaneous overall efficiency was verified with a PPV103-10 pump from HYDAC. The time-variation of reliability for the pump was revealed by a fourth-order moment technique considering the randomness of working conditions and structure parameters, and the proposed reliability method was validated by Monte Carlo simulation. The effects of the mean values and variance sensitivity of random variables on the overall efficiency reliability were analyzed. Furthermore, the optimized time point and design variables were selected. The optimal structure parameters were obtained to meet the reliability requirement and the sensitivity of design variables was significantly reduced through the reliability-based robust design. The proposed method provides a theoretical basis for designers to improve the overall efficiency of APPs in the design stage.

Wind turbine’s shrink disk (WTSD), as a component of transmission system, plays a crucial role in the wind turbine work. In this study, the matrix expression of combined pressure and interference magnitude has been derived by analyzing the geometry relationship of interference fit of multi-layer cylinder. The mechanic model is built by simplifying WTSD as interference fit of multi-layer cylinder. The reliability model is established on the basis of pressure-strength model, and the formula regarding reliability sensitivity is derived. In terms of the minimum principle on the square sum of reliability sensitivity and the minimum reliability principle, the reliability-based robust design (RBRD) model is built under the multi-objective conditions, and the dynamic reliability model is established on the basis of reliability model, load model, and residual strength model. Dynamic reliability sensitivity formula is deduced, and the dynamic reliability-based robust design (DRBRD) model is established under the multi-objective conditions. The effects of the coefficient of friction, assembly clearance, and yield strength on the reliability of WTSD are analyzed by RBRD and DRBRD methods. Taking a type of WTSD as an example, the calculating results validate that the reliability changes along with interference magnitude. The comparison of results shows that the above methods and Monte Carlo method have the same tendency and approximately agree well. Moreover, the traditional design method and RBRD method are compared. It turned out that RBRD can improve the reliability of WTSD by 47.6%, the reliability-based sensitivity is less than that from the traditional design method, and the robustness is stronger. The experiment verified that the design methods of this study can better meet the operation requirements.

Reliability Analysis is applied into tower structural design and influence of uncertain factors is considered into the design. The reliability robust optimization mathematical model of tower structure is established by combining the reliability optimization designing theory with the robust design method and injecting reliability sensitivity into the design model. The reliability sensitivity is added to the reliability-based optimization design model and the stiffness reliability-based robust design is reduced to a multi-objection optimization. Take the lattice tower structure for example, after designing, it shows not only lighter weigh, saving in material, simplifying construction, but also improving its safety and stability. The example proves the method to be effective.

We present a novel fast robust design method of multilayer optical coatings. The sensitivity of optical films to production errors is controlled in the whole optimization design procedure. We derive an analytical calculation model for fast robust design of multilayer optical coatings. We demonstrate its effectiveness by successful application of the robust design method to a neutral beam splitter. It is showed that the novel robust design method owns an inherent fast computation characteristic and the designed film is insensitive to the monitoring thickness errors in deposition process. This method is especially of practical significance to improve the mass production yields and repetitive production of high-quality optical coatings.

The research work carried out in this paper introduces a robust design method for layout synthesis of MEM resonator subject to inherent geometric uncertainties such as the fabrication error on the sidewall of the structure. The robust design problem is formulated as a multi-objective constrained optimization problem with certain assumptions and treated by a special constrained genetic algorithm. The MEM design used for validation is a crab-leg resonator taken from the literature. The results show that the approach proposed in this research can lead to design results that meet the target performance and are less sensitive to geometric uncertainties than typical designs.
