The response surface method, which has not been applied in the field of logistics, is used to study the express storage and distribution system. The goal is to find out the key factors affecting “customer satisfaction” and “warehouse explosion” and determine the optimal parameters to minimize the operation time and congestion rate of the system. The Box–Behnken response surface method is used to optimize the factors such as sorting speed, distribution speed, sorting temporary storage capacity, and distribution temporary storage capacity in the system, and the logistics simulation software is used to verify the experiment. The predicted value is in good agreement with the measured value. The optimal parameters are sorting speed of 0.002 D/PCS, distribution speed of 31 M/D, sorting temporary storage capacity of 502PCS, and distribution temporary storage capacity of 222PCS. It shows that the response surface method is feasible to optimize the parameters of express storage and distribution system and is helpful to further improve the logistics express service level.

To reveal the effect of high-temperature creep on the blade-tip radial running clearance of aeroengine high-pressure turbines, a distributed collaborative generalized regression extremum neural network is proposed by absorbing the heuristic thoughts of distributed collaborative response surface method and the generalized extremum neural network, in order to improve the reliability analysis of blade-tip clearance with creep behavior in terms of modeling precision and simulation efficiency. In this method, the generalized extremum neural network was used to handle the transients by simplifying the response process as one extremum and to address the strong nonlinearity by means of its nonlinear mapping ability. The distributed collaborative response surface method was applied to handle multi-object multi-discipline analysis, by decomposing one “big” model with hyperparameters and high nonlinearity into a series of “small” sub-models with few parameters and low nonlinearity. Based on the developed method, the blade-tip clearance reliability analysis of an aeroengine high-pressure turbine was performed subject to the creep behaviors of structural materials, by considering the randomness of influencing parameters such as gas temperature, rotational speed, material parameters, convective heat transfer coefficient, and so forth. It was found that the reliability degree of the clearance is 0.9909 when the allowable value is 2.2 mm, and the creep deformation of the clearance presents a normal distribution with a mean of 1.9829 mm and a standard deviation of 0.07539 mm. Based on a comparison of the methods, it is demonstrated that the proposed method requires a computing time of 1.201 s and has a computational accuracy of 99.929% over 104 simulations, which are improvements of 70.5% and 1.23%, respectively, relative to the distributed collaborative response surface method. Meanwhile, the high efficiency and high precision of the presented approach become more obvious with the increasing simulations. The efforts of this study provide a promising approach to improve the dynamic reliability analysis of complex structures.
