On the ergodicity assumption in Performance-Based Engineering
Andre T. Beck, Rubia M. Bosse, Isabela D. Rodrigues
In the Performance-Based Engineering (PBE) framework, uncertainties in system parameters, or modelling uncertainties, have been shown to have significant effects on capacity fragil…
Risk-based Design of Regular Plane Frames Subject to Damage by Abnormal Events: a Conceptual Study
Andre T. Beck, Lucas da Rosa Ribeiro, Marcos Valdebenito +1
Constructed facilities should be robust with respect to the loss of load-bearing elements due to abnormal events. Yet, strengthening structures to withstand such damage has a signi…
Comparison of robust, reliability-based and non-probabilistic topology optimization under uncertain loads and stress constraints
Gustavo Assis da Silva, Eduardo Lenz Cardoso, Andre T. Beck
It is nowadays widely acknowledged that optimal structural design should be robust with respect to the uncertainties in loads and material parameters. However, there are several al…
Optimal design of redundant structural systems: fundamentals
Andre T. Beck
In spite of extended recent interest in System Reliability-Based Design Optimization (System RBDO) and life-cycle cost or Risk Optimization (RO), there is a lack of published studi…
A two-level Kriging-based approach with active learning for solving time-variant risk optimization problems
H. M. Kroetz, M. Moustapha, A. T. Beck +1
Several methods have been proposed in the literature to solve reliability-based optimization problems, where failure probabilities are design constraints. However, few methods addr…
Large scale three-dimensional manufacturing tolerant stress-constrained topology optimization
Gustavo Assis da Silva, Niels Aage, André Teófilo Beck +1
In topology optimization, the treatment of stress constraints for very large scale problems has so far not been tractable due to the failure of robust agglomeration methods, i.e. t…
