ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the design approach of a subdefinite mechatronic system and focuses
on the sizing stage of a gearbox of a wind turbine based on the interval computation method.
Indeed, gearbox design variables are expressed by intervals to take into account the uncertainty
in the estimation of these parameters. The application of the interval computation
method allows minimizing the number of simulations and enables obtaining a set of solutions
instead of a single one. The dynamic behavior of the gearbox is obtained using the finite
element method. The challenge here is to get convergent results with intervals that reflect
the efficiency of the applied method. Thus, several mathematical formulations have been
tested in static study and evaluated in the case of a truss. Then the interval computation
method was used to simulate the behavior of the wind turbine gearbox.
