Abstract
Topology optimization is a methodology widely used in the design phase that has gained space in engineering. On the other hand, uncertainty is present in material properties, loads, and boundary conditions in practically any design. The main goal for this paper lies in the coupling of the two subjects to account for uncertainties in the topology optimization. The Proportional Topology Optimization method renders the possibility of treating the stress constraints in a unified way. This allows topologies that at the same time preserve structural reliability and optimize costs. The Proportional Topology Optimization method under the reliability constraint is presented for isostatic and hyperstatic beam examples with stress and displacement LSF.
期刊介绍:
The ACM journal covers a broad spectrum of topics in all fields of applied and computational mechanics with special emphasis on mathematical modelling and numerical simulations with experimental support, if relevant. Our audience is the international scientific community, academics as well as engineers interested in such disciplines. Original research papers falling into the following areas are considered for possible publication: solid mechanics, mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, biomechanics and mechanobiology, fluid-structure interaction, dynamics of multibody systems, mechatronics, vibrations and waves, reliability and durability of structures, structural damage and fracture mechanics, heterogenous media and multiscale problems, structural mechanics, experimental methods in mechanics. This list is neither exhaustive nor fixed.
