Optimal Topologies and Reliability-Based Systems Design (Dr. Choi)
The probability of failure for the deterministic optimum design can be significantly high since the conventional optimization process does not consider variability in design variables and parameters. Reliability-based design optimization method which incorporates probabilistic analysis into optimization process can provide a robust design to engineers. Thus, the reliability-based topology optimization can be an ideal method to obtain the optimal layout in the concept design process which has intrinsic uncertainties.
