Variable Fidelity Optimization Using a Kriging Based Scaling Function
Solving design problems that rely on very complex and computationally expensive calculations using standard optimization methods may not be feasible given design cycle time constraints. Variable fidelity methods address this issue by using lower fidelity models and a scaling function to approximate the higher fidelity models in a provably convergent framework. In the past, scaling functions hav...
متن کاملRELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF COMPLEX FUNCTIONS USING SELF-ADAPTIVE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION METHOD
A Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) framework is presented that accounts for stochastic variations in structural parameters and operating conditions. The reliability index calculation is itself an iterative process, potentially employing an optimization technique to find the shortest distance from the origin to the limit-state boundary in a standard normal space. Monte Carlo simulati...
متن کاملReliability 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...
متن کاملRELIABILITY–BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF CONCRETE GRAVITY DAMS USING SUBSET SIMULATION
The paper deals with the reliability–based design optimization (RBDO) of concrete gravity dams subjected to earthquake load using subset simulation. The optimization problem is formulated such that the optimal shape of concrete gravity dam described by a number of variables is found by minimizing the total cost of concrete gravity dam for the given target reliability. In order to achieve this p...
متن کاملRobust 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...
