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 and
technology.
This book is a follow up of a previous book with the same
subject (ISBN 978-90-481-9986-0) and focuses on advanced
computational methods and software tools which can highly assist in
tackling complex problems in stochastic dynamic/seismic analysis
and design of structures. The selected chapters are authored by
some of the most active scholars in their respective areas and
represent some of the most recent developments in this field.
The book consists of 21 chapters which can be grouped into
several thematic topics including dynamic analysis of stochastic
systems, reliability-based design, structural control and health
monitoring, model updating, system identification, wave propagation
in random media, seismic fragility analysis and damage
assessment.
This edited book is primarily intended for researchers and
post-graduate students who are familiar with the fundamentals and
wish to study or to advance the state of the art on a particular
topic in the field of computational stochastic structural dynamics.
Nevertheless, practicing engineers could benefit as well from it as
most code provisions tend to incorporate probabilistic concepts in
the analysis and design of structures. "
