Maximal Stiffness Design of Two-Material Structures by Topology Optimization with Nonprobabilistic Reliability

Basedon the multi-ellipsoid convex modelandthe quantified measure of the nonprobabilistic reliability, topology optimization of two-material structures in the presence of parameter uncertainties is investigated. The task of the optimal design problem is to distribute a given amount of two candidate materials into the design domain for acquiring the maximal stiffness while satisfying the reliability requirement. The extended power-law...
