## a b s t r a c t This contribution presents an approach for performing reliability-based optimization (RBO) with emphasis on the treatment of discrete design variables. The key idea of the proposed approach is the construction of an approximate representation of the structural reliability (i.e.

This paper describes a non-probabilistic reliability-based topology optimization method for the design of continuum structures undergoing large deformations. The variation of the structural system is treated with the multi-ellipsoid convex model, which is a realistic description of the parameters be
A performance-based optimization (PBO) method for optimal topology design of linear elastic continuum structures with mean compliance constraints is presented in this paper. The performance-based design concept is incorporated in continuum topology optimization, which is treated as the problem of im
