    • A generalized approach for robust topology optimization using the first-order second-moment method for arbitrary response functions
    Authors: Micah, Kranz; Julian Kajo, Lüdeker; Benedikt, Kriegesmann;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    The paper presents a rigorous formulation of adjoint systems to be solved for a robust design optimization using the first-order second-moment method. This formulation allows to apply the method for any objective function, which is demonstrated by considering deformation at certain point and maximum stress as objectives subjected to random material stiffness and geometry, respectively. The presented approach requires the solution of at most three additional adjoint systems per uncertain system response, when compared to the deterministic case. Hence, the number of adjoint systems to be solved is independent of the number of random variables.
