An efficient approach to reliability-based topology optimization for continua under material uncertainty (2015, methodology): “…the double-loop approach method has been applied to topology optimization problems with uncertainty in loading, boundary conditions and non-structural mass and has been shown to produce designs that are tangibly different from deterministic designs (Maute and Frangopol 2003; Mogami et al. 2006).”
