An approach of robust reliability design for mechanical components

Abstract The reliability-based optimization, the reliability sensitivity technique, and the robust design are employed to present a practical and effective approach of robust reliability design for mechanical components on the condition of known probabilistic characteristics of original random variables. The theoretical formula of robust reliability design for mechanical components is obtained. The respective program can be used to obtain the robust reliability design parameters accurately and quickly. According to the numerical results, the method proposed is a convenient and practical robust reliability design method.
