Abstract (EN):
An optimisation model for maximization of structural reliability of composite
structures under dynamic loading conditions is proposed. The failure probability is obtained
using a procedure based on level 2 reliability analyses adapted for dynamic response.
Material properties of the ply are considered normal random variables. The optimisation
process is based on a Hierarchical Genetic Algorithm where a master population evolves
together with a net of slave sub-populations. The proposed topology aims to link the Most
Probable failure Point (MPP) search with the maximisation of structural reliability.
