Abstract:

Uncertainties are an ever present and undeniable part of engineering. Current structural optimization methods ignore this. In the forthlaying document, the current state of the reserach in optimization under uncertainties is presented. During this thesis, a nondeterministic algorithm was developed, opTUM (Optimierung unter Unsicherheiten mit der Möglichkeitstheorie - Optimization under uncertainties with the possibility theory). A thorough explaination of this and its results are also given.
