Multidisciplinary Robust Optimization Design of Multi-Functional Open-Air Hydraulic Drill

Abstract

In this paper, the basic concepts and methods of multidisciplinary design optimization, uncertainty analysis and robust design have been introduced. According to the features of a multi-functional open-air hydraulic drill, a new design theory called multidisciplinary robust optimization design was discussed. This theory can undertake uncertainty analysis and robust design in multidisciplinary design optimization. It fully considers both the synergy among each disciplinary or subsystem in the multi-functional open-air hydraulic drill to get the optimal solution to the whole system and the effect of the uncertainty factors upon the drill quality, and adopts the parallel design to improve the quality, robustness and reliability of the drill, to shorten the market cycles of products, to reduce product cost. Finally, the design points were discussed in detail in the paper.
