Purpose As an advanced calculation methodology, reliability-based multidisciplinary design
optimization (RBMDO) has been widely acknowledged for the design problems of modern …

Multiobjective reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is a research area, which has
not been investigated in the literatures comparing with single-objective RBDO. This work …

The accurate estimations of the failure probability with low-computational burden play a vital
role in structural reliability analyses. Due to high-calculation cost and time-consuming Monte …

Computing the sensitivity vector in the traditional first order reliability method may provide
inaccurate reliability outcomes for discrete performance functions and inefficient …

The ever-increasing demands for resource-saving, engineering technology progress, and
environmental protection stimulate the progress of the progressive design method. As an …

In this work, a novel convexity-oriented time-dependent reliability-based topology
optimization (CTRBTO) framework is investigated with overall consideration of universal …

Abstract The Circulatory System Based Optimisation (CSBO) stands as a nascent
metaheuristic optimisation algorithm known for its proficiency in tackling global optimisation …

Due to its advantages of simplicity and high efficiency, Hasofer–Lind and Rackwitz–Fiessler
(HL–RF) method is widely used in structural reliability analysis. However, it may encounter …

The classical reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) methods, due to the ever
increasing complexity of designs and contingent engineering situations, incur more and …

Abstract The Most Probable Point (MPP) is typically searched by transforming the basic
random variables from original to standard normal space in the traditional first order …
