Reliability Design in Structural Optimization - Literature Survey

This survey focuses primarily on the historical development of RBDO and the various classes of methods which emerged through the years. While reviews on contemporary RBDO methods have been done previously, they haven’t incorporated the basis on which such developments were possible in the first place — risk-based design and limit-state design. This study attempts to link the RBDO field with these methodologies for a more complete picture of the field of reliability and safety.ProOp
