This paper explores the accuracy and the efficiency of analytical solution of Fredholm
integral equation to represent a random field on complex geometry. Because no analytical …

A virtual model aided non-deterministic static analysis (including linear and nonlinear
analyses) with polyphase uncertainty is presented in this paper. Within an uncertain system …

Temporally and spatially dependent uncertain parameters are regularly encountered in
engineering applications. Commonly these uncertainties are accounted for using random …

In a probabilistic design approach for cylindrical shells, Gaussian random fields are used to
simulate geometric imperfections. The shape of imperfections depends, among others, on …

Deterministic design and a priori parameters are used in traditional optimization
approaches. The material characteristics of solid wood are not deterministic in reality …

Buckling is typically the governing failure mode of thin‐walled shells. In particular, geometric
and material imperfections have a major influence on the buckling behavior. Small …

Imprecise random fields consider both, aleatory and epistemic uncertainties. In this paper,
spatially varying material parameters representing the constitutive parameters of a damage …

Seepage refers to the flow of water through porous materials. This phenomenon has a
crucial role in dam, slope, excavation, tunnel, and well design. Performing seepage analysis …

Fuzzy probability based randomness is utilized for polymorphic uncertain design and a priori
parameters in design optimization tasks. Methods for the algorithmic interface between …

Calibrating the finite element model plays an important role in the accurate safety evaluation
of dams. Recent studies show that the material heterogeneity has important impact on the …
