Advance Probabilistic Design and Reliability-Based Design Optimization for Composite Sandwich Structure

Robust Design and Reliability-based Design Optimization

A large number of problems in manufacturing processes, production planning, finance and engineering design require an understanding of potential sources of variations and quantification of the effect of variations on product behavior and performance. Traditionally, in engineering problems uncertainties have been formulated only through coarse safety factors. Such methods often lead to overdesig...

Reliability-Based Design Optimization of a Composite Airframe Component

Reliability and Reliability-Based Design Optimization

Reliability is often understood as the probability that a structure will not fail to perform its intended function. In this paper, the general formulation of consistent evaluation of the safety of structures and the associated methods of analysis are reviewed. After the reliability analysis of a cantilever beam is demonstrated, the methodology of reliability-based optimization and the related p...

Sequential Optimization and Reliability Assessment Method for Probabilistic Design

Probabilistic design, such as reliability-based design and robust design, offers tools for making reliable decisions with the consideration of uncertainty associated with design variables/parameters and simulation models. Since a probabilistic optimization often involves a double-loop procedure for the overall optimization and iterative probabilistic assessment, the computational demand is extr...

Sequential Optimization and Reliability Assessment Method for Efficient Probabilistic Design

Probabilistic optimization design offers tools for making reliable decisions with the consideration of uncertainty associated with design variables/parameters and simulation models. In a probabilistic design, such as reliability-based design and robust design, the design feasibility is formulated probabilistically such that the probability of the constraint satisfaction (reliability) exceeds th...
