| Abstract: | This contribution proposes an approach for solving Reliability–based optimization (RBO) problems involving discrete design variables. The proposed approach is based on a decoupling approach and sequential approximations. An application example involving a linear structure under dynamic loading is presented, showing the efficiency of the proposed method. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
