Abstract

A new integration method of the optimal square approximation method (OSAM) and the second order reliability method (SORM) was presented to ensure the mechanism structure design more reliable and robust. As for arbitrary distribution variables of mechanical structure design, the performance function of mechanical structure is expanded into the second-order Taylor series, the probability density function (PDF) and the first four moments (FFM) including the mean, the variance, the third-order moment and the fourth-order moments of performance function, which can be obtained according to the integration of OSAM and SORM. The numerical example of power-output shaft flange demonstrates that the sensitivity matrix conforms to the qualitative analysis for reliability design, and the presented integration method has the characteristics of high engineering precision in the reliability-based robust design of mechanical structure.
