Abstract This paper proposes an effective reliability design optimization method for fail-safe topology optimization (FSTO) considering uncertainty based on the moving morphable bars method to establish the ideal balance between cost and robustness, reliability and structural safety. To this end, a performance measure approach (PMA)-based double-loop optimization algorithm is developed to minimize the relative volume percentage while achieving the reliability criterion. To ensure the compliance value of the worst failure case can better approximate the quantified design requirement, a p-norm constraint approach with correction parameter is introduced. Finally, the significance of accounting for uncertainty in the More >
