Non-probabilistic reliability-based design optimization of stiffened shells under buckling constraint
Abstract Stiffened shells are affected by numerous uncertainty factors, such as the variations of manufacturing tolerance, material properties and environment aspects, etc. Due to the expensive experimental cost of stiffened shell, only a limited quantity of statistics about its uncertainty factors are available. In this case, an unjustified assumption of probabilistic model may result in misleading outcomes of reliability-based design optimization (RBDO), and the non-probabilistic convex method is a promising alternative. In this study, a hybrid non-probabilistic convex method based on single-ellipsoid convex model is proposed to minimize the weight of stiffened shells with uncertain-but-bounded variations, where the adaptive chaos control (ACC) method is applied to ensure the robustness of search process of single-ellipsoid convex model, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm together with smeared stiffener model are utilized to guarantee the global optimum design. A 3m-diameter benchmark example illustrates the advantage of the proposed method over RBDO and deterministic optimum methods for stiffened shell with uncertain-but-bounded variations.
Highlights Hybrid non-probabilistic convex method based on single-ellipsoid convex model is proposed for stiffened shells. Detailed comparison of the proposed method with RBDO and deterministic optimization is presented. The effect of manufacturing tolerance is investigated.
