Stochastic Structural Optimization presents a comprehensive picture of robust design optimization of structures, focused on nonparametric stochastic-based methodologies. Good practical structural design accounts for uncertainty, for which reliability-based design offers a standard approach, usually incorporating assumptions on probability functions which are often unknown. By comparison, a worst-case approach with bounded support used as a robust design offers simplicity and a lower level of sensitivity. Linking structural optimization with these two approaches by a unified framework of non-parametric stochastic methodologies provides a rigorous theoretical background and high level of practicality. This text shows how to use this theoretical framework in civil and mechanical engineering practice to design a safe structure which accounts for uncertainty.
Structural optimization is an application of mathematical optimization to structural design. Recent studies have linked structural optimization with robust design by a unified framework of non-parametric stochastic-based methodologies, which provides a rigorous theoretical background and a high level of practicality. The purpose of this monograph is to provide a comprehensive perspective of the development in recent years in the field of robust design optimization of structures. In particular, we will focus on stochastic-based methodologies. In the Chapter 1, basic concepts of stochastic and probabilistic approaches are explained, and some related illustrative examples are introduced.
