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.
