Structure Optimization on Sensitivity Analysis for Ultra-supercritical Bypass Valve

摘要

Given mathematics model and boundary conditions of the structure optimization for ultra-supercritical bypass valve (UBV) in operation. FEM results showed that 10 design variables and 178 sampling points are chosen for iteration, and the relationship between maximum equivalent stress and structure parameters are obtained by sensitivity analysis. By using Monte-Carlo method, the quantity of optimized sampling point can be reduced by 17% and calculation time is reduced clearly. The higher sensitivity parameters affecting target function are found by contrasting response degree, and improving the parameters directly is the way that enhances intensity of the UBV. Base on the sensitivity analysis, the linearized equivalent stress of weak place in the UBV can be reduced by 44% with the safety performance enhanced.
