Reliability-Based Topology Optimization: An Extension of the SESO and SERA Methods for Three-Dimensional Structures

This study takes an approach to reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) for 3D structures by applying expansion of smoothing evolutionary structural (SESO) and sequential element rejection admission (SERA) three-dimensional optimization. In the search stable optimal solution, a more reliable structure, we present performance index with ability monitor procedure adopt filtering scheme usually applied in solid isotropic material penalization (SIMP). The limit state functions are maximum displacement constraints imposed structure’s control; comparative analysis deterministic (DTO) RBTO models is also explored. obtained results suggest importance using concept as part design process.
