A PMA-Based Collaborative Strategy for Reliability Design and Optimization of Multidisciplinary Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

To tackle the computing efficiency and robustness problems caused by the reliability index approach (RIA) in reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization (RBMDO), a new performance measure approach-based method for RBMDO is proposed. Meanwhile, the traditional triple-level nested flowchart of RBMDO is decoupled through the main idea of sequential optimization and reliability assessment (SORA). Both deterministic multidisciplinary design optimization and the multidisciplinary reliability analysis are executed by collaborative optimization (CO). Finally, the proposed method is verified through the design example of gear transmission.
