Abstract
This study investigates how differential geometry ideas can be used to effectively carry out structural optimization and reliability analysis. Strong mathematical representations and methods for examining intricate surfaces and forms are provided by differential geometry. The basic ideas of differential geometry, such as tensors, manifolds, and curvature, are initially introduced in the work. Then, to account for ambiguities in the geometry, the probability theory in tangent spaces is developed. As a result, structural reliability can be determined using propagating uncertainty. To enable reliability-based design optimization, differential geometry representations are linked with optimization techniques. The proposed differential geometry-based approach is applied in a number of case studies to trusses, airplane wings, car bodies, and ship hulls.The outcomes show a significant increase in productivity and scalability compared to conventional finite element methods. The article offers new tools for dealing with uncertainty.
