Reliability field data such as that obtained from warranty claims and maintenance records
have been used traditionally for such purposes as generating predictions for warranty costs …

The stochastic finite element method is an extension of the FEM that considers the
uncertainty of a system that arises through variations in initial conditions, materials or …

For many systems in science and engineering, the governing differential equation is either
not known or known in an approximate sense. Analyses and design of such systems are …

Risk and reliability analysis is an area of growing importance in geotechnical engineering,
where many variables have to be considered. Statistics, reliability modeling and engineering …

Computer simulations based on mathematical models have become ubiquitous across the
engineering disciplines and throughout the physical sciences. Successful use of a …

The paper investigates the probability of failure of slopes using both traditional and more
advanced probabilistic analysis tools. The advanced method, called the random finite …

This chapter discusses the importance of multidisciplinary optimization and of including
reliability-based constraints in design. Before addressing reliability issues, we first present a …

Modeling a mechanical system can be defined as the mathematical idealization of the
physical processes governing its evolution. This requires the definitions of basic variables …

Stationary systems modelled by elliptic partial differential equations—linear as well as
nonlinear—with stochastic coefficients (random fields) are considered. The mathematical …
