title = "Robust design optimization of structural systems under evolutionary stochastic seismic excitation",
abstract = "An efficient robust design optimization (RBO) framework is developed for linear multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structural systems subject to evolutionary stochastic earthquake excitations. A significant feature of the developed RBO framework relates to the consideration of both inter-storey drift and floor acceleration second-order statistics as performance measures. Further, an efficient frequency domain approach is utilized for determining the system response Evolutionary Power Spectrum (EPS) matrix circumventing computationally intensive Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, the optimization problem is solved by employing a Genetic Algorithm based approach. An illustrative numerical example is included to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed framework.",
