Blade Tip

Around the engineering background of the probabilistic design of high-pressure turbine (HPT) blade-tip radial running clearance (BTRRC) which conduces to the high-performance and high-reliability of aeroengine, a distributed collaborative extremum response surface method (DCERSM) was proposed for the dynamic probabilistic analysis of turbomachinery. On the basis of investigating extremum response surface method (ERSM), the mathematical model of DCERSM was established. The DCERSM was applied to the dynamic probabilistic analysis of BTRRC. The results show that the blade-tip radial static clearance δ = 1.82 mm is advisable synthetically considering the reliability and efficiency of gas turbine. As revealed by the comparison of three methods (DCERSM, ERSM, and Monte Carlo method), the DCERSM reshapes the possibility of the probabilistic analysis for turbomachinery and improves the computational efficiency while preserving computational accuracy. The DCERSM offers a useful insight for BTRRC dynamic probabilistic analysis and optimization. The present study enrichs mechanical reliability analysis and design theory.

Structural Design Optimization

In this paper, a component-based parametric reduced-order modeling (PROM) technique for vibration analysis of complex structures is presented, and applications to both structural design optimization and uncertainty analysis are shown. In structural design optimization, design parameters are allowed to vary in the feasible design space. In probabilistic analysis, selected model parameters are assumed to have predefined probability distributions. For both cases, each realization corresponding to a specific set of parameter values could be evaluated accurately based on the exact modes for the system with those parametric values. However, as the number of realizations increases, this approach becomes prohibitively expensive, especially for largescale finite element models. Recently, a PROM method that employs a fixed projection basis was introduced to avoid the eigenanalysis for each variation while retaining good accuracy. The fixed basis is comprised of a combination of selected mode sets of the full model calculated at only a few sampling points in the parameter space. However, the preparation for the basis may still be cumbersome, and the simulation cost and the model size increase rapidly as the number of parameters increases. In this work, a component-based approach is taken to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the PROM technique. In particular, a component mode synthesis method is employed so that the parameter changes are captured at the substructure level and the analysis procedure is accelerated. Numerical results are presented for two example problems, a design optimization of a pickup truck and a probabilistic analysis of a simple L-shaped plate. It is shown that the new component-based approach significantly improves the efficiency of the PROM technique.

Decision Boundaries

A new technique for performing probabilistic analysis and optimization design using data classification methods is investigated. The approach is based on nonlinear decision boundaries constructed from data classification methods. A statistical learning tool known as support vector machine (SVM) is used to construct the boundaries. An adaptive sampling technique is used to generate samples and update the approximated decision function. The proposed approach is demonstrated with several benchmark and engineering problems.
