Resum	Topology Optimization is a computational method for distributing material optimally within a design space to maximize structural performance (strength, stiffness) while minimizing weight or cost. The Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method, developed by Bendsoe and Kikuchi (1988), iteratively refines a material density distribution across the design domain using sensitivity analysis and gradient-based optimization. SIMP has revolutionized structural design in aerospace, automotive, and mechanical engineering by automating the generation of efficient structures.	The First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) is a probabilistic technique for estimating the probability of structural failure given uncertain input parameters. Developed by Allin Cornell in 1969 and refined by Hasofer and Lind in 1974, FORM provides a computationally efficient approximation to the true failure probability by linearizing the limit-state function at the most probable failure point. It has become the cornerstone of modern structural reliability analysis and risk-based design.
