Stochastic Models of Uncertainties in Computational Mechanics presents the main concepts, formulations, and recent advances in the use of a mathematical-mechanical modeling process to predict the responses of a real structural system in its environment. Computational models are subject to two types of uncertainties--variabilities in the real system and uncertainties in the model itself--so, to be effective, these models must support robust optimization, design, and updating.

A probabilistic approach to...
