Structural Design Optimization Considering Uncertainties

by Yiannis Tsompanakis (Editor), Nikos D. Lagaros (Editor), Manolis Papadrakakis (Editor)

Typically, uncertainties play a dominant role during the design and optimization procedure of structures and products. This book presents the latest research findings in the scientific field of structural optimization considering uncertainties. The selected contributions deal with the use of probabilistic methods for the optimal design of different types of structures and various considerations of uncertainties. This new volume is a "multi-collective" book of twenty-one, high-quality and self-contained chapters, which present state-of-the-art theoretical advances and applications in various fields of probabilistic computational mechanics.
