- Abstract
In many practical engineering problems, distributions of some random variables may not be precisely known or even only the variation ranges can be given, due to which the Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) methods cannot be applied directly. In this paper, a hybrid RBDO model is established to deal with hybrid uncertainties including random variables with interval distribution parameters and coexistence of random and interval variables. The hybrid uncertainties lead to an interval of reliability, thus giving rise to a triple-loop optimization problem, which burdens the computational effort significantly. Therefore, an extended Sequential Optimization and Reliability Assessment (SORA) method is proposed, where the worst-case point over the bounded domain of interval uncertainty is employed to replace reliability constraint with deterministic optimization. Therefore, the hybrid RBDO problem can be efficiently solved by a series of deterministic optimization procedures. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are illustrated through several numerical examples.
