Abstract
The objective of this work is to integrate reliability analysis into topology optimization problems. The new model, in which we introduce reliability constraints into a deterministic topology optimization formulation, is called Reliability-Based Topology Optimization (RBTO). Several applications show the importance of this integration. The application of the RBTO model gives a different topology relative to deterministic topology optimization. We also find that the RBTO model yields structures that are more reliable than those produced by deterministic topology optimization (for the same weight).
