Abstract
Rotor tip assembly clearance (RTAC) is a critical assembly precision index of aero-engines. Accurately evaluating the overproof risk of RTAC has great significance for precision and safety control. However, existing evaluation methods fail to consider the uncertainties inherent in machining precision and assembly process execution. To address this issue, this paper proposes an overproof probability estimation method considering machining precision and assembly process uncertainties. Uncertainties related to RTAC are classified into random variables and interval variables. The independence of overproof conditions is analyzed, and the significance of different overproof behaviors is illustrated. The correlation between overproof limit functions under different behaviors is revealed. According to the mutual exclusivity of overproof conditions, the overproof probability is defined. Then, the RTAC prediction model is divided into three sub-models, and the overproof probability estimation method strategy is proposed. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified through a case study. The results provide more reliable reference for engineers in overproof risk evaluation and decision-making.
