This project aims at investigating Structural and Multi-disciplinary optimization methods considering uncertainty and multi-function. It will mainly focus on (1) challenging non-deterministic optimization methods in the frontiers of structural optimization of major industrial equipments; (2) structural and Multi-disciplinary optimization problems with multi-scale and multi-physics coupled behaviors; (3) complex inverse problems. Research on theories and methods of optimal multi-functional design and inverse problems considering uncertainty and multi-physics will contribute to innovation of engineering design and promote application of structural optimization methods.
