Algorithms for Reliability-Based Optimal Design [PDF]
We present a new formulation for a class of structural optimization problems with reliability constraints, which makes it possible to use a new outer approximations algorithm for their solution. Our numerical results support the viability of our approach.

An integrated reliability-based design optimization of offshore towers
Abstract After recognizing the uncertainty in the parameters such as material, loading, geometry and so on in contrast with the conventional optimization, the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) concept has become more meaningful to perform an economical design implementation, which includes a reliability analysis and an optimization ...
