Abstract: An optimization method for shell elevating device with interval uncertainties is proposed to solve the problem of performance degradation during operating. A multidisciplinary model based on ADAMS is established. The parameters of hydraulic system and the friction coefficient are regarded as the interval uncertainties, and the minimal loading and fluctuation on the mechanism are set as the objectives by using the interval theory. Simulations are carried out on Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) points. An approximate model of shell elevating device is constructed based on radial basis function (RBF) neural networks to improve the efficiency. The nested optimization method based on multi-island GA and NLPQL is used to obtain the robust solutions. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and adaptability of the proposed method for solving the complex problems in automatic loading system.
