Reliability-Based Topology Optimization Using Stochastic Response Surface Method with Sparse Grid Design

A mathematical framework is developed which integrates the reliability concept into topology optimization to solve reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) problems under uncertainty. Two typical methodologies have been presented and implemented, including the performance measure approach (PMA...
