Abstract: A new UBC-constrained (ultimate-bearing-capacity-constrained) non-probabilistic reliability-based optimization method for structures with uncertain-but-bounded parameters is proposed. Different from the traditional stress-constrained optimization, the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is taken as the constraints in the non-probabilistic reliability-based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s0219876221500389
Abstract: Most of the current non-probabilistic reliability methods are applicable for an individual component of a structure. However, a system consisting of interconnected components is involved in many engineering problems and its non-probabilistic reliability analysis remains… read more here.
