As the current literature lacks effective nonlinear robustness evaluation method and optimal design theory of the structural robustness for flexible cable-bar tensile structure, this paper aimed to conduct further studies. Based on the theory, a fundamental robustness analysis method and a detailed calculation way through the combination of induction of performance criterion and random theory for nonlinear structural robustness quantitative evaluation method were proposed. Following this, a real Geiger cable dome structure was studied as its research object, and the influences of structural robustness of simultaneous changes of all elements section and changes of every kind of element section were analysed, respectively. Finally, the genetic algorithm was applied through MATLAB and ANSYS software to achieve optimal section layout, with the goal of minimizing structural quality on the condition that the structural robustness indicator keep less than that of the initial structure. The result revealed that the increase of the section of elements can effectively enhance structural robustness and the section changes of various elements showed different sensitivities to the influence of structural robustness. Meanwhile, structural quality can be effectively reduced by optimizing measures such as increasing the section of elements with significant effect on structural robustness and reducing the section of elements with minor effects on structural robustness, while the structural robustness indicator keeps less than that of the initial structure. The optimization reveals that quality was reduced by 42.5% in this paper.

The mechanical reliability design method is a common method, and it is the most direct and effective method to carry out the mechanical reliability design at present. The reliability optimization design is an effective optimization design method which is developed in combination with the reliability design theory on the basis of the conventional optimization design. Taking the antifriction bearing as an example, this paper systematically expounds all kinds of mechanical reliability design methods. Through comprehensive analysis of various factors that affect the reliability of colliery machine, the index system of colliery machine reliability evaluation is established. Because of the complexity and diversity of the use of colliery machine in the evaluation system, and the fuzziness of human thinking, it is difficult to give the deterministic evaluation information in numerical form, so this paper also analyzes the design method of colliery mechanical reliability, and puts forward an interval fuzzy evaluation method for colliery mechanical reliability evaluation to avoid overload operation of colliery machine and ensure safety production and safety of workers. The simulation results show that the inherent law of reliability is effectively characterized by this method, and it provides a evidence for security produce and scientific decision-making of colliery mechine.

A new FEA based design approach of optimal robust fixture configuration is proposed in this paper, which employs a surrogate model through computer experiment to significantly reduce the intensive computing effort involving numerous FEA system response evaluations. The effects of the fixture variability to the workpiece performance variability are assessed through an efficient robustness evaluation method, First Order Reliability Method (FORM), based on the surrogate computer model. Not restricted to primary datum surface, this new approach enables simultaneous determination of robust locator/clamp locations and clamping forces for a deformable workpiece and thus captures interaction between locating and clamping. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated though an application example. The results of robustness analysis reveal new information and suggest that the optimal solution resulted from deterministic optimization may not be the best solution when the design is subjected to variability.

<p style="margin: 1em 0px;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;">In order to reduce the energy consumption and enhance the robustness of wireless sensor network (WSN), this paper proposes a hierarchical clustering routing algorithm based on fuzzy mathematics (HCRAFM). To make a comprehensive analysis of WSN, it is also necessary to detect the robustness of the network. Facing the multiple random variables, the traditional robustness detection models assume that all nodes have the same weight, making it impossible to quantify the analysis indices or obtain accurate results. Thus, the fuzzy mathematics theory was introduced to the WSN robustness detection, forming a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The simulation results show that the HCRAFM strikes a load balance between WSN nodes, extends the life cycle of each node, and prolongs the service life of the network. In addition, the proposed algorithm is proved to have sound robustness and strong applicability.</span></span></p>

Redundancy is an important component of structural robustness. A method is proposed based on the response sensitivity for assessment of the redundancy of structure under earthquake. Redundancy analysis is carried out for a single-layer reticulated dome subjected to earthquake condition. The result shows that the redundancy values are able to reveal the weak links in the structure. Members with a small redundancy are identified as structural weaknesses that are easily damaged under loads, and their failure may cause catastrophic consequences to the structure. Therefore, the members with small redundancies must be treated as key components of the structures.
