This work presents an integrated approach for the multidisciplinary reliability analysis of turbine blades with shape uncertainty, including the metamodel, the free-form deformation, and the Monte Carlo simulation. The multidisciplinary analysis of turbine blade includes fluid, structure, and thermal analyses, which is time-consuming during integration with multidisciplinary reliability analysis. The metamodel is constructed by adaptive sampling to reduce computational cost. The shape uncertainty with small size changes in reliability analysis should be considered. The geometry-based multidisciplinary analysis may fail to capture the small size changes during the geometry and mesh regeneration process. The main contribution of this article is to introduce the free-form deformation in multidisciplinary reliability analysis to overcome the aforementioned problems. The mesh-based method supported by free-form deformation is proposed. Failure probability analysis of the multidisciplinary blade system is performed using the Monte Carlo simulation and the surrogate model. Through the numerical simulation, it is found that the failure probability increases as the blade shape uncertainty becomes larger. The methodology in this article provides a valuable and applicative way to calculate the risk of blade in multidisciplinary system.
