Stochastic Finite Element Methods: An Introduction

by Vissarion Papadopoulos, Dimitris G. Giovanis

Overview

The book provides a self-contained treatment of shastic finite element methods. It helps the reader to establish a solid background on shastic and reliability analysis of structural systems and enables practicing engineers to better manage the concepts of analysis and design in the presence of uncertainty. The book covers the basic topics of computational shastic mechanics focusing on the shastic analysis of structural systems in the framework of the finite element method. The target audience primarily comprises students in a postgraduate program specializing in structural engineering but the book may also be beneficial to practicing engineers and research experts alike.

Editorial Reviews

This book stands as an introduction to shastic finite elements, with applications to the estimation of the responses variability and the reliability of shastic systems. … Throughout this useful book, the reader (for example, a mathematician or an engineer) will find interesting numerical examples and exercises.” (Dimitra C. Antonopoulou, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2018)
