Abstract

Actual engineering systems will be inevitably affected by uncertain factors. Thus, the Reliability-Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO) has become a hotspot for recent research and application in complex engineering system design. The Second-Order/First-Order Mean-Value Saddlepoint Approximate (SOMVSA/FOMVSA) are two popular reliability analysis strategies that are widely used in RBMDO. However, the SOMVSA method can only be used efficiently when the distribution of input variables is Gaussian distribution, which significantly limits its application. In this study, the Gaussian Mixture Model-based Second-Order Mean-Value Saddlepoint Approximation (GMM-SOMVSA) is introduced to tackle above problem. It is integrated with the Collaborative Optimization (CO) method to solve RBMDO problems. Furthermore, the formula and procedure of RBMDO using GMM-SOMVSA-Based CO(GMM-SOMVSA-CO) are proposed. Finally, an engineering example is given to show the application of the GMM-SOMVSA-CO method.
