Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is one of the most crucial techniques in
complex and reliability-critical engineering systems. This has been a research hotspot over …

The classical reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) methods, due to the ever
increasing complexity of designs and contingent engineering situations, incur more and …

With the development of the surrogate-assisted Reliability-Based Design Optimization
(RBDO) methods in recent decade, efficiency has been continuously improved by various …

The study proposed a hybrid adaptive Kriging-based single loop approach (HAK-SLA) to
prevent the conventional single loop approach (SLA) from being less efficient, converging to …

This paper proposes a new active learning method named as optimum-pursuing method
(OPM) from the viewpoint of optimization theory, which aims to provide an effective tool for …

Profust reliability analysis, in which the failure state of a load-bearing structure is assumed to
be fuzzy, is investigated in this paper. A novel active learning method based on the Kriging …

Surrogate models have been extensively used in reliability-based design optimization
(RBDO); however, few studies have focused on the global optimality of RBDO. This paper …

With the rapid development of topology optimization methodology in engineering
application, how to deal with the multi-source uncertainties incurs more and more attention …

In this study, inspired by the idea of the sequential optimization and reliability assessment
(SORA) method, a new decoupled double-loop method for probabilistic performance-based …

The present work discusses an innovative approach to metamodeling in reliability that uses
a field-transversal rationale. Adaptive metamodeling in reliability is characterized by its large …
