Study on Optimization of Pump Shaft Transmission System of Plastic Centrifugal Pump by Lili Zhang, Lingfeng Tang, Qingzhao Wen, Wenbin Luo

“…The dynamic and static characteristics of the plastic centrifugal pump are not related to the structural parameters of the pump shaft. Aiming at the influence of the structural parameters of the pump shaft transmission system on the dynamic and static performance of the plastic centrifugal pump, the three-dimensional model of the impeller and volute chamber was drawn by Creo5.0. …”

Analysis of Stationary Random Responses for Non-Parametric Probabilistic Systems by Y. Zhao, Y.H. Zhang, J.H. Lin, W.P. Howson, F.W. Williams

“…The move from conceptual design, through fabrication to observation and measurement on the resulting physical structure is fraught with uncertainty. This, together with the necessary simplifications inherent when using the finite element technique, makes the development of a predictive model for the physical structure sufficiently approximate that the use of random structural models is often to be preferred. …”
