Frequency Reliability-Based Robust Design of the Suspension Device of a Jarring Machine with Arbitrary Distribution Parameters

Abstract

The frequency reliability with arbitrary distribution parameters in the stochastic dynamic structure system of practical engineering and its related theories were studied deeply in the paper. The frequency reliability method of avoiding resonance was proposed by mechanical dynamics, stochastic finite element method, and reliability theory. Then the frequency reliability formula with arbitrary distribution parameters was deduced through Edgeworth series method. Furthermore, the frequency reliability sensitivity method was presented based on the frequency reliability research, which provided a preliminary efficient way to analyze how each random parameter contributed to the system reliability. Moreover, the frequency reliability-based robust design method of the stochastic dynamic structure system was obtained by robust and optimization technology on the basis of frequency reliability and sensitivity method, which helped designers to establish acceptable parameter values and to determine the fluctuations of the parameters for the safe operations. Meanwhile, a numerical example of the suspension device of a jarring machine with arbitrary distribution parameters was provided and studied, the numerical results were in agreement with practice, which demonstrated the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methods.
