Epistemic uncertainty widely exists in the early design stage of complex engineering
structures or throughout the full-life cycle of innovative structure design, which should be …

This paper presents a general approach for probabilistic constraint evaluation in the
reliability-based design optimization (RBDO). Different perspectives of the general approach …

Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) involves evaluation of probabilistic
constraints, which can be done in two different ways, the reliability index approach (RIA) and …

Because deterministic optimum designs obtained without taking uncertainty into account
could lead to unreliable designs, a reliability-based approach to design optimization is …

BECAUSE of the globally competitive marketplace, many in-dustries have endeavored to
improve the quality of their designs and processes for 6-sigma products. At the same time …

Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) can provide optimum designs in the
presence of uncertainty. It can therefore, be a powerful tool for design under uncertainty. The …

Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) dealing with variation of output induced by
uncertainty of design variables needs computationally expensive reliability analysis to …

Aeroelastic phenomena are most often either ignored or roughly approximated when
uncertainties are considered in the design optimization process of structures subject to …

THE existenceof uncertaintiesin either engineeringsimulations or manufacturing processes
requires a reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) model for robust and cost-effective …

A probabilistic model is developed in this study for calculating the failure probability and
finding the associated reliability for a given pipeline in a plant affected by the time …
