Abstract

In order to solve the computational complexity caused by the consideration of uncertainties in multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO), an efficient method for reliability-based MDO (RBMDO) based on the bi-level integrated system synthesis (BLISS) and performance measure approach (PMA) is proposed. With the decoupling idea of sequential optimization and reliability assessment (SORA) method, the conventional triple nested loop of RBMDO is decoupled into a series of sequential execution of deterministic multidisciplinary design optimization (DMDO) and multidisciplinary reliability analysis (MRA). Both the DMDO and MRA are implemented by BLISS, which avoids the total computation of the whole multidisciplinary reliability analysis model iteratively in each RBMDO cycle. Finally, a shock absorber of landing gear example has been demonstrated to verify the efficiency of the proposed method, which shows that the efficiency of the proposed method has been improved by 52.01% and 26.51% respectively compared to the other two methods.
