BOOK
Optimization is generally a reduction operation of a definite
quantity. This process naturally takes place in our environment
and through our activities. For example, many natural systems
evolve, in order to minimize their potential energy. Modeling
these phenomena then largely relies on our capacity to
artificially reproduce these processes. In parallel, optimization
problems have quickly emerged from human activities, notably from
economic concerns. This book includes the most recent ideas
coming from research and industry in the field of optimization
reliability and the recognition of accompanying uncertainties. It
is made up of eight chapters which look at the reviewing of
uncertainty tools, system reliability, optimal design of
structures and their optimization (of sizing, form, topology and
multi-objectives) - along with their robustness and issues on
optimal safety factors. Optimization reliability coupling will
also be tackled in order to take into account the uncertainties
in the modeling and resolution of the problems encountered. The
book is aimed at students, lecturers, engineers, PhD students and
researchers
