BOOK



Optimization is generally a reduction operation of a definite

quantity. This process naturally takes place in our environment

and through our activities. For example, many natural systems

evolve, in order to minimize their potential energy. Modeling

these phenomena then largely relies on our capacity to

artificially reproduce these processes. In parallel, optimization

problems have quickly emerged from human activities, notably from

economic concerns. This book includes the most recent ideas

coming from research and industry in the field of optimization

reliability and the recognition of accompanying uncertainties. It

is made up of eight chapters which look at the reviewing of

uncertainty tools, system reliability, optimal design of

structures and their optimization (of sizing, form, topology and

multi-objectives) - along with their robustness and issues on

optimal safety factors. Optimization reliability coupling will

also be tackled in order to take into account the uncertainties

in the modeling and resolution of the problems encountered. The

book is aimed at students, lecturers, engineers, PhD students and

researchers
