Abstract

Reliability Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO) has received increasing attention to reach high reliability and safety in complex and coupled systems. In early design of such systems, however, information is often not sufficient to construct the precise probabilistic distributions required by the RBMDO and consequently RBMDO can not be carried out effectively. The present work proposes a method of Possibility Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (PBMDO) within the framework of the Sequential Optimization and Reliability Assessment (PBMDO-SORA). The proposed method enables designers to solve MDO problems without sufficient information on the uncertainties associated with variables, and also to efficiently decrease the computational demand. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated with an engineering design.
