Robust Reliability Optimal Design Based on Thermo-mechanical Coupling Compliant Mechanism

Random variable of thermo-mechanical coupling (TMC) structure is analyzed first, then the topology optimization model of TMC compliant mechanism is established. According to the uncertainty factors such as temperature, load, volume ratio and thermal expansion coefficient in the process of topology optimization, the robust reliability optimal design method is introduced into the topology optimization process. The various factors on the sensitivity of topology optimization process is analyzed, the best match between various factors is find out, which make the product has robust reliability for the change of the uncertainty. The residual analysis for the most sensitive factors is carried out. Finally the correctness and validity of the method is verified with an example.
