<br/><br/> The aim of this work is to perform Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) to the free vibration of a laminated composite plate. To achieve this goal several techniques are integrated as follow: First, the reliability analysis is performed using first and second-order reliability techniques and Monte Carlo simulation technique
