Abstract: The evaluation of objective functions and component reliability in the optimisation of structural-acoustic systems with random and interval variables is computationally expensive, especially when strong nonlinearity exhibits between the response and input variables. To reduce the computational cost and improve the computational efficiency, a novel anisotropy-based adaptive polynomial chaos (ABAPC) expansion method was developed in this study. In ABAPC, the anisotropy-based polynomial chaos expansion, namely the retained order of polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) differs from each variable, is used to construct the initial surrogate model instead of first-order polynomial chaos expansion in conventional methods. Then, an anisotropy-based adaptive basis growth strategy was developed to reduce the estimation of the coefficients of the polynomial chaos expansion method and increase its computational efficiency. Finally, to solve problems with probabilistic and interval parameters, an adaptive basis truncation strategy was introduced and implemented. Using the ABAPC method, the computational cost of reliability-based design optimisation for structural-acoustic systems can be efficiently reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method were demonstrated by solving two numerical examples and optimisation problems of a structural-acoustic system.
