A Collaborative Approach for Multidisciplinary Systems Reliability Design and Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the efficiency and robustness of reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization (RBMDO), a new collaborative strategy (named C-RBMDO) which integrates performance measure approach (PMA) and concurrent subspace optimization strategy (CSSO) is proposed. Both the mathematical model and optimization procedure are put forward. The traditional triple-level nested flowchart of RBMDO is decoupled with the sequential optimization and reliability assessment (SORA). The deterministic multidisciplinary design optimization and the multidisciplinary reliability analysis are executed by CSSO and PMA respectively. Finally, the proposed method is verified through the design example of gear transmission.
