Add to basketAs modern structures require more critical and complex designs, the need for accurate ways to assess uncertainties in loads, geometry, material properties, manufacturing processes and operational environments has increased. Reliability assessment techniques help to develop safe designs and identify where contributors of uncertainty occur in structural systems.
This book provides readers with an understanding of the fundamentals and applications of structural reliability, stochastic finite element method, reliability analysis via stochastic expansion, and optimization under uncertainty. Probability theory, statistic methods, and reliability analysis methods are discussed. In addition, the use of stochastic expansions for the reliability analysis of practical engineering problems is also examined throught the use of examples of practical engineering applications.
This book will be of value to graduates and post graduates studying in this field as well as engineers, researchers, and technical managers.
Dr Seung-Kyum Choi earned his PhD in mechanical and materials engineering at Wright State University, OH, USA. His research interests include structural reliability and probabilistic mechanics, statistical approaches to design of mechanical systems, and multidisciplinary design optimization.
Dr Ramana Grandhi is the distinguished professor of mechanical and materials engineering at Wright State University, OH, USA. His research interests are in multidisciplinary analysis and optimization, probabilistic mechanics, and metal forming. Dr Grandhi has conducted sponsored research for the US Air Force, US Navy, NSF, NASA, DARPA, GE, GM and Caterpillar. He is a fellow of the ASME and an associate fellow of the AIAA.
Dr Robert A. Canfield is an associate professor of aerospace engineering in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), OH. USA. His research interests include structural optimization, multidisciplinary analysis and design methods, uncertainty quantification, structural dynamics and control, and aeroelasticity. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Air Force, where he was the project engineer for the Automated Structural Optimization System (ASTROS), an AFIT instructor, the program manager for basic research in computational mathematics, the chief of plans and budget, and then the director of policy and integration at the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. He is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA, and he chaired the AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) Technical Committee for two years.

The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, Books Puddle, 244 Madison Ave, Suite # 405, 10016, New York, New York, U.S.A., +1 7183015977, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or Books Puddle, 244 Madison Ave, Suite # 405, 10016, New York, New York, U.S.A., +1 7183015977, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of cancellation
The right of cancellation does not apply to:
