RMO / Research / Reliable Design
At the RMO lab, our reliable design approach focuses on the developement of computational tools for design under uncertainties as well as the implementation of these tools in industrial applications. The main research challenge includes avoiding a conservative and overdimensioned design based on the employment of traditional empirical safety factors. Instead, a probabilistic framework is applied taking into account uncertainties with a true-to-nature representation of the stochasticity in loading, material and design parameters.
