Mechanical Engineering in Uncertainties From Classical Approaches to Some Recent Developments 

Considering the uncertainties in mechanical engineering in order
to improve the performance of future products or systems is
becoming a competitive advantage, sometimes even a necessity,
when seeking to guarantee an increasingly high safety
requirement.

Mechanical Engineering in Uncertainties deals with modeling,
quantification and propagation of uncertainties. It also examines
how to take into account uncertainties through reliability analyses
and optimization under uncertainty. The spectrum of the methods
presented ranges from classical approaches to more recent
developments and advanced methods. The methodologies are
illustrated by concrete examples in various fields of mechanics
(civil engineering, mechanical engineering and fluid mechanics).
This book is intended for both (young) researchers and engineers
interested in the treatment of uncertainties in mechanical
engineering.
