This book deals with the various aspects of stochastic dynamics, the
resolution of large mechanical systems, and inverse problems. It
integrates the most recent ideas from research and industry in the field
of stochastic dynamics and optimization in structural mechanics over 11
chapters. These chapters provide an update on the various tools for
dealing with uncertainties, stochastic dynamics, reliability and
optimization of systems. The optimization-reliability coupling in
structures dynamics is approached in order to take into account the
uncertainties in the modeling and the resolution of the problems
encountered.
Accompanied by detailed examples of uncertainties, optimization,
reliability, and model reduction, this book presents the newest design
tools. It is intended for students and engineers and is a valuable
support for practicing engineers and teacher-researchers.
