Research Progresses on Reliability Design of Remanufactured Electromechanical Products with Multi-life Characteristics across Whole Working Ranges

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1004-132X.2026.04.023

Abstract

Abstract:

The low reliability of remanufactured electromechanical products stemmed from multiple factors： complex and variable operational scenarios leading to performance disparities across working ranges， the imbalance in multi-attribute life（physical， technical， and economic） of various substance-field units within the products， and the non-uniform evolution of reliability across different attribute life under varying working ranges. These factors collectively posed significant challenges to enhancing product reliability. In response， research on whole working range reliability design was emerged. By exploring the design connotations， a framework for whole working range reliability design under multiple life characteristics was advanced. Building upon this framework， representative studies， ranging from the generation to the optimization of reliability design schemes， were reviewed. These included the evolution of whole working range reliability based on life characteristics， reliability design and multi-objective reliability optimization for remanufactured products. Furthermore， current research challenges were discussed. Finally， key research focuses were summarized， and future directions for reliability design were proposed.

Key words: sustainable design, remanufacturing, reliability design, multi-attribute life, multi-objective optimization

摘要：

再制造机电产品可靠性低因多方面因素作用：复杂多变的工况场景即跨工作域性能差异，产品各物场单元物理、技术、经济多属性寿命的不平衡性以及不同寿命期内不同工作域下可靠性演变的不一致性，导致产品可靠性提升困难。为此，全工作域可靠性设计研究应运而生，通过探究其设计内涵提出多寿命特征下全工作域可靠性设计框架；基于所提框架从可靠性设计方案的生成到优化等方面综述基于寿命特征的再制造产品全工作域可靠性演化、再制造产品可靠性设计、再制造产品可靠性多目标优化等代表性研究，进而讨论当前研究面临的挑战；最后，总结当前研究重点并提出未来可靠性设计的发展方向。
