Deterministic Design

 The design problem is formulated as


approximation. The uncertainties in the material properties are represented by 11 random

variables, six for elastic properties (El, E2, G12, p, G23 and a2) and five for strength

allowables (ay cl 2t o, 2c" and ft"), which are assumed to be normally distributed and

uncorrelated. The mean values and coefficients of variation of the uncertainties in

material elastic properties and strength allowables are shown in Table 8-12 and Table 8-

13 respectively. The six design variables (b, h, tl, 62, t2 and 62) are aSSumed to be

uniformly distributed with percent variation given in Table 8-14. These data are intended

only for illustration.
