Abstract

We consider the probability of failure for components made of brittle materials under one time application of a load, as introduced by Weibull and Batdorf-Crosse. These models have been applied to the design of ceramic heat shields of space shuttles and to ceramic components of the combustion chamber in gas turbines, for example. In this paper, we introduce the probability of failure as an objective functional in shape optimization. We study the convexity and the lower semi-continuity properties of such objective functionals and prove the existence of optimal shapes in the class of shapes with a uniform cone property. We also shortly comment on shape derivatives and optimality conditions.
