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.

Uncertainty Compensation

In practical application, a nominal model is often used to approximate the design of industrial system. This approximation could make the traditional design method less effective due to the existence of model uncertainty. In this paper, a novel robust design approach is proposed to design the robustness of the dynamic system under model uncertainty. The key idea of this proposed method is that it integrates the advantages of both the model-based dynamic robust design and the data-based uncertainty compensation. A simulation example is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust design method.

Robust Design Method

In real-world applications, a nominal model is often used to approximate the design of an industrial system. This approximation could make the traditional design method less effective due to the existence of model uncertainty. In this paper, a novel stability-based approach is proposed to design the system ensuring robust stability under model uncertainty. First, the design variables and their variation bounds are configured to make the system stable. Then, a robust design is developed to incorporate system eigenvalues that are less sensitive to model uncertainty. Finally, the tolerance of the design space will be maximized under given performance constraints. A simulation example is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust design method.

Abstract This paper gives general information about multi-objective, axiomatic and robust design approaches and considersasolution model of nonlinear multi-objective optimization problem based on applyinganew robust design approach. Both axiomatic and robust design approaches were used complementarily inacase study with distinct multi-objectives. In this case study, the main target was achieving each objective optimum to minimize the mass and the shear stress ofaspring by integrating robustness and durability at the design stage due to trade off between objectives. This spring problem was examined using the independence axiom of the axiomatic design methodology. Also, semangularity and reangularity concepts were used and design matrices were formed to find coupled and decoupled solutions. It was observed that there were some acceptable design parameter values for which the design became decoupled. Graphical and numerical results were checked to see if they were compatible with each other. Finally, this decoupled design was given appropriate tolerances by using robust design method. This way,arobust and durable spring was designed which would satisfy the given specifications with minimum cost in the existing literature from the view point of axiomatic design approach.
