Description:
The considerable influence of inherent uncertainties on
structural behavior has led the engineering community to
recognize the importance of a stochastic approach to structural
problems. Issues related to uncertainty quantification and its
influence on the reliability of the computational models are
continuously gaining in significance. In particular, the problems
of dynamic response analysis and reliability assessment of
structures with uncertain system and excitation parameters have
been the subject of continuous research over the last two decades
as a result of the increasing availability of powerful computing
resources… more…
