Non-probabilistic wear reliability analysis of swash-plate/slipper of water hydraulic piston motor based on convex model

Abstract

Water hydraulic piston motor is one of the important transmission components in a water hydraulic system. For lack of enough experimental information to analyze the reliability in water hydraulic motor design, the convex model is chosen as wear reliability model for hydraulic friction pairs, which is more economical and reasonable than the interval model. The non-probabilistic reliability index based on the convex model is established using first-order Taylor series expansion, and the non-probabilistic reliability model of wear reliability analysis for the friction pair of swash-plate/slipper in water hydraulic piston motor is introduced based on the convex model. For the non-probabilistic reliability model, only the bounds on uncertain parameters are needed, instead of probabilistic density distribution or statistical quantities. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the validity and feasibility of the presented method.
