Research on deformation dynamic response reliability analysis of flexible mechanism

Deformation dynamic response of flexible mechanism is a nonlinear process. For the purpose of dynamic reliability analysis, a model of flexible mechanism was proposed based on flexible multi-body dynamics. Deformation dynamic response reliability theory was proposed and methodology was presented. Monte Carlo method was applied to generate stochastic variables of flexible mechanism. Artificial Neural Network was constructed to simulate nonlinear relationship between stochastic variables and deformation responses. Section distributions of deformation process were gained on the outputs of ANN. A flexible mechanism was employed to test theory and methodology presented. Dynamic deformation reliability of the flexible mechanism was computed. The results showed that this method was available for flexible mechamsm design and analysis.
