Optimum structural design via convex model superposition

摘要: Abstract A new approach is presented for implementing a multidimensional convex model the optimal design of structures subjected to bounded but uncertain loads. This non-probabilistic method including uncertainty in design. In previous studies, two-stage optimization process was used predict effect uncertainties, modeled using theory, on response constraints. Here, superposition find with load uncertainties. The implemented loads, i.e., displacements and stresses. advantage that one eliminated, constraints do not need be expressed explicitly as function variables.
