Popis: The reliability of the machining process is a vital indicator in the manufacturing process of mechanical parts, and directly related to the machining quality of mechanical products. In order to effectively utilize machining process information and machining quality inspection data to evaluate the reliability of the machining process, this paper extends the relevant concepts of information theory to the field of mechanical manufacturing error analysis and establishes a reliability analysis model of the machining process. The model introduces information entropy into the analysis of machining process reliability by defining vertex entropy to measure the uncertainty of the machining quality of each process, and thus realizing the determination of critical processes using a fully quantitative method. Meanwhile, the transfer coefficient defined by mutual information is used to measure the transfer of machining error between two processes. Through combining vertex entropy and the transfer coefficient, the quantitative analysis of machining process reliability is achieved. The model proposed in this paper addresses the issue that the subjective factors of researchers in other related studies have an impact on the analysis results. Finally, the correctness of the proposed model is verified using Monte Carlo simulations.
