Abstract

A method for evaluating the reliability of a sealing structure in a multi-failure mode based on an Adaboost algorithm. The Adaboost algorithm is adopted to carry out a classification iterative training on the seal ring failure related data of a small sample until a classification error of set classifier meets a precision requirement; then the failure probability of the sealing structure is calculated under the fluctuation condition of related parameters by adopting the important sampling method, and further the reliability of the sealing structure is evaluated in the multi-failure mode. The present invention solves the problems of long time consumption and complex calculation process of reliability evaluation in multi-failure mode of the complex structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for evaluating reliability of a sealing structure in a multi-failure mode based on an Adaboost algorithm, the method comprising:
step 1, constructing a training sample and a test sample, wherein
when using elastic modulus, a Poisson's ratio, an oil pressure and a pre-compressed amount of an O-ring seal as features during an experimentation, and regarding that whether the sealed structure is failure after running 10 5 hours in a same load spectrum as a binary classification label, an experiment sample is produced, and a sample volume of the experiment sample is N; wherein parameters input are independent of each other and are approximated as following a normal distribution, 80% of the experiment sample are randomly selected as the training sample, and remaining 20% of the experiment sample are selected as the test sample;
step 2, performing a classification with the training sample and the test sample using the Adaboost algorithm, wherein
when using a binary classification algorithm of adaboostM1 in a Matlab toolbox, regarding a weak learner type as a decision tree, the training sample is classified for multiple rounds of training; a trained classification model is recorded as F(X), wherein X is an input feature vector of the O-ring seal, and if F(X)<0 in an input condition, the O-ring seal is deemed to be failure under the input condition; otherwise, the O-ring seal is non-failure;
step 3, calculating a failure probability using an important sampling method, wherein
the failure probability of O-ring seal is calculated using the important sampling method based on expanding variance, an expansion coefficient is set to be 1.05, N sets of data are extracted and recorded as X i , wherein i is equal to 1, 2, . . . , N, and substituted into the trained classification model F(X), when F(X i )<0, the O-ring seal under X i is deemed to be failure;
the failure probability is calculated using a formula

wherein in the formula i are all possible values that make F(X i )<0 true, g cov is a joint probability density distribution function of a design parameter after expanding the variance, and f cov is the joint probability density distribution function of the design parameter before expanding the variance.
