Abstract

A general formulation of the minimum-weight optimization problem is presented in the paper. Formulation of the problem is based on the concept of the expected value. Solution of the corresponding mathematical programming problem has been obtained by means of indirect method. To evaluate the magnitude of the influence of random character of the structure parameters two numerical examples concerning plane truss and free vibrating plane strain structure are presented.
