Stochastic compliance constrained topology optimization based on optimality critera method

Abstract

The aim of this research is to introduce a new type of stochastic optimal topology design method with iterative solution technique. The paper presents stochastic topology design procedure and compares the achieved results with optimal obtained topologies on deterministic way. The standard mathematical programming problem is based on a minimum volume design procedure subjected to a bounded compliance constraint given in stochastic form. In the numerical method an optimality criteria procedure is used.
