This work presents a reliability methodology that couples gradient and heuristic based reli- ability methods with element-free Galerkin method applied in composite laminates structures. First and second order reliability methods are the gradient based reliability methods. The heuristic based reliability method suggested by authors uses natured-inspired optimization method: genetic algorithms. Numerical examples on linear elasticity that involve random properties of laminated composite plates are presented in order to demonstrate the efficiency, capacity and robustness of the proposed methodology. The results show that the predicted reliability levels are accurate in comparison with similar approach that uses finite element analysis to evaluate implicit limit state functions.
