text: State-of-the-art mechatronic systems offer inherent intelligence that enables
them to autonomously adapt their behavior to current environmental conditions
and to their own system state. This autonomous behavior adaptation is made possible
by software in combination with complex sensor and actuator systems and by sophisticated
information processing, all of which make these systems increasingly complex.
This increasing complexity makes the design process a challenging task and brings
new complex possibilities for operation and maintenance. However, with the risk
of increased system complexity also comes the chance to adapt system behavior
based on current reliability, which in turn increases reliability. The development
of such an adaption strategy requires appropriate methods to evaluate reliability
based on currently selected system behavior. A common approach to implement such
adaptivity is to base system behavior on different working points that are obtained
using multiobjective optimization. During operation, selection among these allows
a changed operating strategy. To allow for multiobjective optimization, an accurate
system model including system reliability is required. This model is repeatedly
evaluated by the optimization algorithm. At present, modeling of system reliability
and synchronization of the models of behavior and reliability is a laborious manual
task and thus very error-prone. Since system behavior is crucial for system reliability,
an integrated model is introduced that integrates system behavior and system reliability.
The proposed approach is used to formulate reliability-related objective functions
for a clutch test rig that are used to compute feasible working points using multiobjective
optimization.
