Reliability-Based Optimal Design of Water Distribution Networks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 2001
A considerable amount of research has been carried out on the reliability analysis and optimal design of water distribution systems, and it has been reported that each of the above problems is very difficult to solve (Eiger et al. 1994; Wagner et al. 1988).

Approximated computation of belief functions for robust design optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents some ideas to reduce the computational cost of evidence-based robust design optimization. Evidence Theory crystallizes both the aleatory and epistemic uncertainties in the design parameters, providing two quantitative measures, Belief

Reliability-based design optimization of offshore wind turbine support structures using analytical sensitivities and factorized uncertainty modeling [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science, 2020
The need for cost-effective support structure designs for offshore wind turbines has led to continued interest in the development of design optimization methods. So far, almost no studies have considered the effect of uncertainty, and hence probabilistic

Reliability approach for safe designing on a locking system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this work is to predict the failure probability of a locking system. This failure probability is assessed using complementary methods: the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Second-Order Reliability Method (SORM) as approximated methods,

Grid Feature-Based Weighted Simulation Method for Multi-Objective Reliability-Based Design Optimization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2022
Reliability analysis and reliability-based design have attracted huge attention since their origin, especially in the engineering design optimization field. Integrating a novel grid feature (GF) mechanism into the weighted simulation method (WSM), a grid
