Limit and Shakedown Reliability Optimization Accounting for Nonlinear Geometric Effects

  • Chapter
Inelastic Behaviour of Structures under Variable Repeated Loads

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 432))

Abstract

In this chapter, the relation between deterministic, stochastic and design parameters is explained. Differences between deterministic and reliability-based optimisation are pointed out. A formulation of the system reliability optimization with the limit and shakedown failure criteria is presented. For discrete structures it allows to account for nonlinear geometric effects. An example of limit reliability optimization is presented.
