Reliability based design optimization (RBDO) incorporate probabilistic behavior of engineering problem into optimization. This method ensures that the design stays in the feasible region of reliability limit state. However, computational cost of an RBDO analysis can be considered very expensive when compared with deterministic design. In reliability analysis, the limit state are approximated by a polynomial function. The result from the reliability analysis is used further for the optimization.
Most of previous researches have focused on the accuracy of the reliability analysis, and RBDO results. However, the results usually are sensitive towards initial values of the design variables. For example, the optimizer Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), may affect by the initial point. During this research the effect of different initial value were evaluated. The effect of the accuracy and stability of reliability analysis towards sensitivity of SQP were analyzed.
Then based on the results, a new combination for RBDO method, using Particle Warm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and polynomial function is proposed. The proposed method is verified by a simple cantilever beam problem, a numerical example problem and a three-bar truss problem.
