Reliability Optimization in Isostatic Structures

摘要: Reliability optimization is formulated here in a way that permits dealing explicitly with the benefit derived from existence of structure, its initial cost, and expected losses due to failure. This formulation adapted policies which structure either not rebuilt or systematically if it fails. Introduction time variable one-component structures leads expressions can be put form those for single load application. Attention given disturbances are generalized Poisson processes criteria deciding on advisability providing defense plateaus specific cases. The treatment extended statically determinate having uncorrelated component resistance functions certain type correlation these variables. An iteration procedure developed
