Uncertainty design can take account of aleatory and epistemic uncertainty in optimal processes.
Aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty can be expressed as evidence theory uniformly, and evidence
theory is used to describe the uncertainty. Transferring and response with evidence theory for structural optimal
design are introduced. The principle of response evaluation is also set up. Finally, the cantilever beam in a
test system is optimized in the introduced optimization process, and the results are estimated by the evaluation
principle. The optimal process is validated after the optimization of beam.
